about

Inspired by The Age Of Magic, by Ben Okri.

lyrics

Perhaps a person, is made from layers of habit
That compress, over time like layers of rock
Maybe I am a mountain
Immovable and casting
Shadows across, all I see.
To look inside, is to awaken
To look out, is to dream
On the Mountain side strides mystery
His legs are reaching, his eyes are wide
In the lake resides our hidden screams
Silenced by, its deep, waters
A surface so sublime, a fairy-tale picture
A gentle death might take us further
down the line
[A reading from
The Age Of Magic by Ben Okri]
Now let’s begin, and let’s begin again
Now let’s begin, as we end.
Our lives are made of tides
Pulled through by the moon
Take care to recognise, the changing mood
In the darkness we may decide to start anew
In the darkness we may decide to start anew
