The Forest Awakes |
| The forest awakes |
| A desert at dawn |
| A mountain at night |
| And the rhythm moves on |
| The people awake |
| They’re marching along |
| The streets are alive |
| With a terrible song |
| Forwards and backwards in every direction |
| The abs' perpetual motion |
| The shifting of light on the banks of the river |
| I’m free, but I’m keeping my clothes on |
| I’m marching along |
| The street where you live |
| I’m calling your name, |
| The song is a gift |
| The song is a road |
| A road is a face |
| A face is a time |
| And a time is a place |
| A place of relief and a time of confusion |
| The heart is a simple equation |
| With beautiful words and with beautiful people |
| The heart is a face, is a mountain |
| A fruit that falls before it’s grown |
| I heard a sound and a bird has flown |
| It breaks to pieces above the forest |
| A million particles born today |
| Out beyond the blue horizon |
| Air cannot escape |
| Underneath the weeping willow |
| I can see your face |
| Free-form, climbing all over me |
| Creatures great and small |
| Doctors pulling them out of you |
| Hideous, virtuous, both of us |
| Come in my kitchen when it rains outside |
| Sweet inspiration sneaks up from behind |
| Forest is true |
| I know for a fact |
| The bigger the front |
| Then the bigger the back |
| My heart beating still |
| Through the perilous night |
| The bombs burst in air |
| My hair is alright |
| The shifting of light on the trees and the houses |
| I drown in an ocean of perfume |
| The strangeness of words |
| How the meaning keeps changing |
| But somehow the beauty will find you |
