about
Music by Rob Garcia, lyrics by Joanna Wallfisch
lyrics
The dawn outside is breaking,
It whispers to me secrets.
Never in my life would I ever tell
The sweetness of this day.
When waking from my dreams
I find myself in flight.
A mystery to me,
This bright eternal night.
It got me in its sight.
And as the sun is rising
It burns through my heart slowly.
Fortune tellers say, 'never tell a lie,
'For all of the stars know.
'They'll colour all your dreams,
'They'll find you when you hide"
This mystery, it seems, is living deep inside.
It rises with the tide.
Rising, burning, dreaming, breathing.
Open your eyes and see that we're just human,
Longing to find that other to believe in.
Open your heart and feel the power to be.
The curtain of today draws in
A blue velvet sky over.
Silently the earth spins another tale
For all of us dreaming.
It caught us in its web, will never let us go.
A never ending dance, enticing us to know,
Eternal Ebb and Flow...
