Before the Light Comes

lyrics

Before the light comes, before the light comes...

Waiting silent darkened rooms
Until my time has come to bloom
Pure potential is my name
No rush, sit back, let it settle, watch it grow
Stone by stone
Pure potential is my name
And my ocean of patience, tracing my hesitance
Back to its source
I let go, nothing is forced
I let go, nothing is forced

Why to run? Why to roam?
Why to trade the depths for waves and foam
Why to run? Why to roam?
Why to trade the depths for waves and foam

Give me wholeness lest I walk on as a fractured soul
In shadow I am home
Yet reaching for that limitless door of transformation
I burn it up and become light
I could write a book, but I'd rather feel and touch and taste and look
I could write a book, but I'd rather feel and touch and taste and look
For sense lives not in the thinking mind
But in hearts full, rich, robust, and kind

Why to run? Why to roam?
Why to trade the depths for waves and foam
Why to run? Why to roam?
Why to trade the depths for waves and foam

Yet I honor those moments of pitch black, retract, return to the womb
Yet I honor those forget, being death, heavy lead denseness of the tomb
In that space where life and death dance face to face
Coexisting in impossible ways
Bending my logic and growing my grace
Bending my logic and growing my grace
Defracted rays splinter, shatter, shadow filter cover up what appears to be, you trick me!
Yet less and less am I fooled as to not hear music as silence's jewel
Love is a ceremony, drink up, we are one, becoming more of what we are
Love is a ceremony, drink up, we are one, becoming more of what we are
Fully alive
Fully alive...

Why to run? Why to roam?
Why to trade the depths for waves and foam
Why to run? Why to roam?
Why to trade the depths for waves and foam

Before the light comes, before the light comes...
Before the light comes, before the light comes...
