lyrics

Our heads all swaying in synchronicity
Where the world is silent and we’re listening
Someone hasn’t broken their promise for a symphony
It’s top secret but I’ll tell you it goes on whispering

I thought differently down there before the ascend
Days in dewey decimal system then forgetting what they meant
Now I’m staring at the clouds from the other end
Laughing at the thing that knocked me down from them

Though I must admit, I could use a hug from my homie
And I wonder if they’ll ever know
And I wonder if they’ll ever know

Launched to the ceiling by the press of a pen
They did say velcro is a best friend
Outside the border not a single amen
As I’m floating to where I go from where I once went

Though I must admit, I could use a hug from my homie
And I wonder if they’ll ever know
And I wonder if they’ll ever know

Pings and swells expand and combine
A wad of water around my eyes
I can drive this thing
Bonjour rebirth
Greetings, goodbye
My mother earth

That's what a cloud looks like from the other end

So delighted that Angel is finding that "hard won acceptance" that she sought and hope that her future path is one of authenticity. This work is one marked by melodious but not overwrought emotion, striking an intuitive balance of warmth and skill. hailhumanists
