[INTRO — very soft spoken word, intimate, spacious; sparse pads and distant shimmering textures. Female vocal almost whispered, with lots of air and reverb] What is my brother for? I thought I knew I gave him a place I gave him a part And asked him to make my dream come true But I don't know I can let him be As I release him My mind is released... [VERSE 1 — gentle melodic-house pulse enters; warm bass, soft pads, restrained percussion. Female vocal clear, intimate and dreamy] I made a role for you And one for me A little world of how I thought we'd be I asked you to complete The dream I made And when you failed I turned away But you are not the part I gave to you And I am not the self I thought I knew [CHORUS — slightly rising; add subtle harmonic movement and shimmering atmosphere] So I release What I assigned And leave the dream To my Higher Mind [Dreamy instrumental, flow, gentle groove, shimmering pads] [VERSE 2 — warm bass and soft rhythmic movement, sung slightly more open than Verse 1] I held a picture In my mind And looked for you Inside its lines But every time You slipped away The picture cracked And fear would stay Now let it break Let it dissolve I do not need To know at all Beyond the shape I made of you Something in me Remembers You [CHORUS — gradual emotional lift, more luminous and spacious] So I release What I assigned And leave the dream To my Higher Mind [BRIDGE — spoken word; strip the music back, no beat but spacious pads only. Clear, warm male voice, intimate and calm, like a mystical transmission] How happy would your dreams become if you were not the one who gave the "proper" role to every figure which the dream contains. A shadow figure who attacks becomes a brother giving you a chance to help, if this becomes the function of the dream. What is your brother for? You do not know, because your function is obscure to you. He asks for help in every dream, and you have help to give him. Because He loves the dreamer, not the dream, each dream becomes an offering of love. For at its center is His Love for you, which lights whatever form it takes with love. And dreams of sadness thus are turned to dreams of joy... [BUILD — instrumental gradually returns and expands; rising pads, soft pulse, subtle vocal atmosphere. Female vocal begins to emerge beneath the build] No role No story No demand No picture of the future I need to understand I free you I free the dream The Love I am The Love I am... Revealed to me... [FINAL CHORUS — gradual emotional lift, more luminous and spacious] So I release What I assigned And leave the dream To my Higher Mind The dreamer is free The roles disappear The Love I am Is revealed [OUTRO — gradually dissolve; remove percussion and bass, leaving soft pads, vocal echoes and spacious atmosphere. Female vocal becomes intimate again] I love the dreamer Not the dream I love the dreamer Not the dream The forms grow quiet The veil grows thin Love awakens Me within And I awaken... From the dream...
