[Verse 1]

Listen, heart

Listen close

Listen to the melancholy melody of your own voice

I am weary of my own dreaming

I am tired of waiting

So this time, I'm leaping


[Chorus]

I reach beyond myself to see

What I find, beyond my mind, there is no time

In this place beyond my sight

My heart knows what is not yet seen

I'm witnessing my own becoming


[Verse 2]

Lash myself to the Mantle of my desire

I will Turn from its temptation

But the wanting takes me higher

I am hurting (I am hurting)

Ooh, I am not yet born

I am the mother and the father

Of what is not yet known


[Chorus]

I reach beyond myself to see

What I find, beyond my mind, there is no time

In this place beyond my sight

My heart knows what is not yet seen

I'm witnessing my own becoming


[Bridge]

Darkness surrounds me

I scratch

I struggle

I breathe


[Chorus]

And I'm reaching beyond myself to see

What I find, beyond my mind, there's no time

In this place beyond my sight

My heart knows what is not yet seen

I'm witnessing

I reach beyond myself to see

What I find, beyond my mind, there's no time

In this place beyond my sight

My heart knows what is not yet seen

I'm witnessing my own becoming


[Outro]

La, la, la

La, la, la

La, la, la

La, la, la

La, la, la

La, la, la

La, la, la
