lyrics

we meet at the boundaries
standing on our side, looking at the other
spores drifting on the breeze
flashing through our lives, wish we had another

turn to the moon and the stars and the trees and the snow
all this wild disorder is just part of the whole
in the floating world

time sleeps when the music wakes
truth within a bigger truth, a different kind of song
climbing till the fever breaks
past the monomyth, to a place where we belong

echoes from the elements burn into our bones
reach across the divide and we feel less alone
in the floating world

notes on a page
dots in the air
every word a poem
every deed a prayer

i hope i recognize when you reach me
no matter what we have become
i‘ll hum a tune to jog our memory
and you can count in on the drum

and we’ll make our climb to the floating world
it’s a dizzy ride to the floating world
through an open road, every tale is told
write a thousand lives, golden and divine
in the floating world

no straight lines, can’t make time
the word is out, it’s gone worldwide

and if the air gets thin as the night rolls in
we’ll keep warm in the fires of creation
destiny is not a destination
in the floating world
