[Verse 1]

I can feel the dawn, I can feel the Earth

I can feel the livin' all around, 'round, 'round, 'round

All around, 'round, 'round, 'round

I could choose a path, I could choose the word

I can start the healin', bring it now, now, now, now

Bring it now, now, now, now


[Chorus]

Whispered songs inside the wind, breathing in forgiveness

Like vibrations with no end, hear the planet hummin'

What is clear far from the noise gets swallowed whole


[Verse 2]

I could feel the sun, I can see the sound

I could set myself right here and drown, drown, drown drown

D-drown, drown, drown

I can feel the rush, I could clear the clouds

I could set the needle, spin it loud, loud, loud, loud

Loud, loud, loud, loud

Ah, I can hear the crash, I can feel the pound

I can feel the current pullin' down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down


[Chorus]

Whispered songs inside the wind, breathing in forgiveness

Like vibrations with no end, feel the planet hummin'

What is clear far from the noise gets swallowed whole


[Bridge]

With no quiet to be found, spirit lifted off the ground

And what lies beyond the grave might be welcome change

Time will come, come what may

With no rest in peace until that day, hey yeah


[Guitar Solo]

(Yeah)


[Verse 3]

Hmm, I could choose a path, I could choose the word

I can start the healin', bring it now, now, now, now

Now, now, now, now

I could be the sun, I could be the sound

I could set myself right here and drown, drown, drown, drown

Drown, drown, drown, drown


[Outro]

Whispered songs inside the wind, breathin' in forgiveness

And the chapter I've not readurn the page
