lyrics

Where you’re from the purple sky was painted night
and faded slowly into morning white
the sun rose softly the miracle of everything
the bower grass the birds would slowly start to sing
when you were young your spirit was a wild wind
wound up by the everything that’s nothing
and you were loud unchained and unaffected
from the crowd to which you were connected
Swimming soundly through fishes out of water
Soon you could tell the nothing that is everything
And you reached hell before they even taught you it
But love abounds it’s the energy you enter
Eat and laugh said the shaman to his idols
The world is full of happy surprises

And when the night comes the nothing that is come to pass
round the energy you enter
the earth becomes lighter than a feather
and you’re connected to the energy you enter
And when the night comes it doesn’t all just go to black
When the light comes you know that’s when you’re coming back
And when the night comes it doesn’t all just go to black
And when the light comes you know that’s when you’re coming back
