lyrics

Some run for shelter,
away from the rain,
while others dance in the open
their arms outstretched,
happy again.
Some fear the dark
and suffocate in its unknown,
while others see the light of day
only when the sun goes home,

but I, I am the sky,
(I am the water)
I am the bird
caged in the languages you speak-
Touch me,
feel me,
drink me,
breathe me- like I breathed you.

Some cherish the life
that is promised them later,
while others curse their existence,
to them, nothing else matters;
But eyes closed in prayers
or opened in bitterness
wake up one day to find
that the one thing they had
was the last thing they learnt to see

but I, I am the sky,
(I am the water)
I am the bird
caged in the languages you speak-
Touch me,
feel me,
drink me,
breathe me- like I breathed you.

Soak me, soak me to the core,
cleanse my skin to the bone,
touch me, touch me deep inside
like a breath of cold, cool air,
atop a mountain- Hold!
I live only to live
I sleep only to dream
I am Creation.
