So long I lived here alone in this heart of jade Clutching to you Afraid to be educated if I awake Will it be too late Light up and see the signs all around A dying ember glows Aching for you to follow So long the weight upon you How dignified you pray Voice inspired by fear of nothing Inside the stone and all alone Now tempted to dismay Willing to sacrifice comfort lies As night turns into day On Again (left outside – riding a wave) No one knows how long it's been Don't want to be saved from Riding this wave ashore One moment of rest here at the crest, then we fall... Knowing is not enough to win Diastole of time breathing in To reverse again and again A fire rekindled but dare I believe again Trusting in you Afraid to be devastated Must I await what lust will recreate Loving to hate what can never change Hating to love what can't remain Off Again (lost inside – riding a wave) No one knows what might have been Don't want to be saved from Riding this wave ashore Dance until we exhaust Life unlived and lost
