lyrics

I wonder as I wander out under the sky
What song ‘neath our skin makes you and I cry,
“Oh my soul!” like wind in the fall?
It’s just the frailty of it all.

I carry your heart like clouds hold the rain.
I’ve poured you out and watered the earth with my tears
For so many years,
I no longer feel despair or fear.

O, we’re more than the sum of our parts!
And I’d give every beat of my heart
Just to know myself,
Just to know myself.

O, what can I do? Can’t live with or without you.
No words need we say the way the moon taught us to pray.

I know,
I know its time to let go
Of this masquerade pain I’m still wearing in vain.
The sun and the moon are singing, “don’t be afraid,
For in death and in birth all your fear will subside,
In life you’ll tremble so keep your eyes wide,
Or it will flash by like a thief in the night
Before you ever see the light.”

Spinning white cotton on a hummingbird loom,
Apart, together, all things are made new.
You and I wipe the dew from our eyes
To see ourselves for the first time.

(Chorus)

Should every star in the sky fall through the night,
I’ll find you in the darkness and I’ll run with you ‘til the end.
I wonder as I wander out under the sky,
Would I do it all again
Just to know myself,
Just to know myself?
