Becoming
I had a sense of something good, I
knew it was good
Fleeting, bright and small, but I
understood
I chased myself through the night, the darkest night
Fearless I stood, poised and ready to
fight
I looked in a mirror to find the
truth, to know the truth
But seeing isn't knowing, even when
you have the proof
I slept and woke inside my dream, free
within my dream
I called forth the unknown, and saw nothing
is as it seems
My two hands held the secret, and I held
them closed in secret
The answer is simple, is easy, is you
cannot keep it
In a moment I saw a future dressed in
sun, life-giving sun
I opened my mind and healed all that
had been done
The power is in knowing what you can’t
see, when you can’t see
The miracle is what is in front of you doesn't set you free
Open wide your mouth to receive, your life
to receive
Close your throat when it disagrees,
your heart believes
Within that space between then and now,
finally it is now
You see the truth in the ashes of the
sacred cow
You are not a broken creature of fear,
there is nothing to fear
Within you is the divine, the heaven
song pressing near
I am you and you are me, together we
dance; it’s okay to dance
Destiny wielded its sword; we are not
a game of chance
Don’t fear the flame burning bright,
rising higher, ever higher
We hold the oil, wick and lamp; we are
the fire
We will bring out the truth refusing
the lie, never believing the lie
We will fall down and drunkenly laugh,
never ceasing to try
It is you; it is me, spirit perfect in
our skin and bones, strong happy bones
We will roam the earth and soar the
sky always in joy, never alone.
