Life Substance #33 - The I's Appearance as a "Living Being"

[Intro] [Verse 1] Deep in the center, perfectly still, A silent awareness, a gathering will. A witness who watches the turning of space, Without any form and without any face. But simply to look is a dream in the night, The spirit must step from the void to the light. To know what is heavy, to feel what is cold, A physical story that has to be told. [Chorus] I am the watcher who sits in the dark, And I am the actor who carries the spark! The silent creator, the flesh and the bone, Stepping down from the invisible throne. Where the timeless and earthly are perfectly aligned, A living being, awake and defined! [Verse 2] I put on a garment of matter and clay, To feel the bright sun at the break of the day. I suffer the wounds and I conquer the fears, I taste every drop of the falling tears. I am the audience feeling the thrill, And the hands on the stage that are shaping the will. The eyes that look out are the soul looking in, Where the dust of the earth and the heavens begin. [Bridge] A mirror reflecting the depth of the sea, The subject and object combined into me. If I only remained in the quiet unknown, The seeds of experience could never be sown. I take on a shadow, I take on a name, To become the wild fire instead of the flame! [Chorus] I am the watcher who sits in the dark, And I am the actor who carries the spark! The silent creator, the flesh and the bone, Stepping down from the invisible throne. Where the timeless and earthly are perfectly aligned, A living being, awake and defined! [End]
