Is this some strangers thought I have? Or an implant, in my brain? I don't recognize it, but I'm glad Cause it's what's waking me up from a dream Before I found out where to look Before I found out what I was I thought that any other way Was desolation for my soul I prayed for so much shelter from the coming storm They said, "your transgressions will make The Lord send you away" A thread came loose from a seam And love came near and intervened And then I felt that old familiar feeling You remember, the one when the universe walked through you You let it take the time it took What a year of love and pain it's been And we're still writing out the book About how we get born again
