I Was There
03:15
|
|||
I was there when the world was born:
No time, no form;
I could have sworn
I was there when the world was born,
As I’m a piece of Your soul
I am part of Your ancient light
I love with all my heart
And soul and might
I am part of Your ancient light
And I’m at peace with Ein Sof

Sooner or Later
04:13
|
|||
I woke up this evening,
And guess what I found?
The world was still turning,
But you weren’t around.
You went into hiding,
You left me no clue.
I guess your residing
In another point-of-view.
Sooner or later
We all fall down.
Later or sooner
Things come back around.
I called up my physicist.
He told me that I
Was living in a world
That he could not quantify.
I weighed all my options,
They didn’t weigh much
So I just decided
To find you as such
Sooner or later
The sun will blow up.
Later or sooner,
You’ll probably show up.
I cleaned up my bathroom,
And as I did scour
I found you were just taking
Your time in the shower.
Sooner or later
We all foul up.
Later or sooner
You’ll mess me up.
Sooner or later
We all fall down.
Later or sooner
Things come back around.

Shekhina's Dream
02:54
|

And when I have these dreams at night
I dream of finding you
I dream that you can see my light
and it doesn't blind you
Bind me as a sign upon your hand
Bind me as a seal upon your heart
Bind me Bind me...
I filled the world with boundless love
And offered it to you
You fill the world with with endless anger
I turn away from you
Sometimes it seems that
You don't even hear me
You don't even see me
You don't even feel me
Except in your dreams
And when I have these dreams at night
I dream you find your way
You flail about in the dark,
But you don't run away
Love me With all of your heart
And Hold me Closer to your eyes
And Show my Name upon your gates
And Love me With all of your might
And Please don't let me go
Please don't let me go

Now and again
I get the blues
I get confused
Does that excuse my behavior?
But then again
I could blame you
Or blame the moon
Or blame the universe for being
So indifferent to my dreams
What kind of place
Could be so cold?
Could be so old?
That it withholds its deep secrets
In time and space
What is my role?
If there's no soul
Then there is
No real difference
Between good and evil
So why even bother
To be kind and civil to you?
Am I confused?
Is it the blues?
Is it the moon?
Or is it you (universal blues)?
Now and again
I get a clue
It isn't you
It isn't me
It isn't you
It isn't me
What can it be?
What can it be?

Living in Another Time
02:32
|
|||
I have been living
In another time
Where the world is right
And you are mine
And I know that it's crazy
But I don't mind
So I'll keep on living
In another time
I've been living
In another place
But the truth is
It's so very far away
Until I can be certain
That you will be mine
I'll keep on living
In another time
I should have known when I met you
That I never ever would forget you
Even if it meant throwing my life away.
And now that I've found you
There's just know way around you
My heart won't let me keep you at bay...
Until I can be certain
That you will be mine
I'll keep on living
In another time

Searching
03:44
|

I have been searching
I am searching
I'll be searching forever,
For something inside, outside
Past, present, future forever
And I know this about you:
You have been searching,
You are searching
You'll be searching
I know this about us:
We should be searching together forever
I have been looking
I am looking
In the strangest of places
Way back in time
When there was nothing
Where we now find that space is
And I know this about you:
You will be looking in the same sort of places
I hope this about us:
That we can hallow our quest with embraces
I have been searching
(and searching and searching and searching)
For something inside and outside forever and ever
Sometimes it's foggy
You are with me
I lose my bearings
You are near me
And I know this about you:
You will be looking in the same sort of places
I hope this about us:
That we can hallow our quest with embraces
