about

Inspired by Enchantment, by Pietro Grossi.

lyrics

The first drift, a slow tectonic shift
A small fist on a window pane in the night
Soft but sure, made the first
Crack appear
That would finally give way
To the almighty roar
That came careering through my life
Obeying beasts that cried
And in the white smoke and dust
Hope stung our young eyes
And in the white smoke and dust
Hope stung our young eyes
Years and miles
From that child
Dark night skies rain down
It’s black light
A gleaming road
Through our young lives
And in it’s surface I found the future and I
I felt the universe expand
My eyes they were opened wide
And in the white smoke and dust
Hope stung our young eyes
And in the white smoke and dust
Hope stung our young eyes
And my mind was reeling with what could be
Of particles and possibilities
Time has passed
Life has had
It’s own way
Ours to take
Different paths
How do we see clearly through each day?
