What is the Soul?

[Verse 1] I feel the body waking The people that I love surround me And I surround them They hold me in their orbit Till I move with them Till I answer back Till I fill them up With whatever spark I’ve got left And the night folds over us Like a slow electric tide Every heartbeat calling out Every breath a signal fire [Pre‑Chorus] I rise in the hum of their voices I fall in the weight of their hands I carry the charge they give me I carry the charge I give them [Chorus] The body carries just as much as the soul And if the body isn’t part of the soul Then what is the soul What is the soul Tell me what is the soul [Verse 2] I’ve learned this much: Being with the ones I care for is enough Sharing quiet evenings is enough Standing in the glow of living, breathing, laughing people Is enough And the room becomes a shelter And the faces become a map And the warmth becomes a language That no one needs to speak aloud [Pre‑Chorus] I rise in the hum of their voices I fall in the weight of their hands I carry the charge they give me I carry the charge I give them [Chorus] The body carries just as much as the soul And if the body isn’t part of the soul Then what is the soul What is the soul Tell me what is the soul [Bridge] Every face breaks the measure Every gesture breaks the rule Every moment with them Pulls me toward a different future I feel the body waking I feel the body waking I feel the body waking In the new world forming under our feet [Verse 3] A face tells more than words can measure A person’s presence breaks the scale I reach toward a different future I feel the body waking I reach toward a different future And the air around us brightens And the ground beneath us shifts And the pulse inside us gathers Into something we can lift [Pre‑Chorus] I rise in the hum of their voices I fall in the weight of their hands I carry the charge they give me I carry the charge I give them [Verse 4] The body keeps its secrets In the way a shoulder leans In the way a heartbeat answers When another heartbeat calls And I learn from every moment From the quiet, from the noise From the way we stand together Like a signal made of flesh And the future feels closer Every time we breathe the same air [Final Chorus] The body carries just as much as the soul And if the body isn’t part of the soul Then what is the soul What is the soul Tell me what is the soul Tell me what is the soul [Extended Outro] I feel the body waking I feel I feel The body waking I feel I feel The body waking Hold the charge Hold the charge Body waking Body waking
