[Verse 1] Before the first beginning, Before the stars were in the sky, There was the ground of Being, With neither when nor where nor why. And God dreamed of becoming, Of worlds that rise from what has been, Of light that kindles in the dark, Of life that wakes and begins again. [Pre-Chorus] Where stars collapse to darkness, Where space and time are bent and torn, A hidden turning waits within, And out of death, new worlds are born. [Chorus] Become—let the mystery bend Become—let the mystery bend A whisper at the hidden core A whisper calling me once more (become) (let the mystery bend) [Verse 2] Each world remembers faintly The world that gave its birth before, A tremor in its oldest light, A whisper at its hidden core. And I beneath the heavens Ask what the oldest hearts have known: From where did I come into this? And where within this world belong? [Pre-Chorus] Why am I this particular me, Within this universe and time? Why did this life become my own, Among the stars that burn and shine? I search the oldest heavens, I search the light from long ago, But every path dissolves to mist, And every trace fades out of view. [Chorus] Become—let the mystery bend Become—let the mystery bend A whisper at the hidden core A whisper calling me once more (become) (let the mystery bend) [Bridge] Yet something in me reaches Beyond the things that I can see, A longing without any name, A whisper calling quietly. Perhaps God is no answer, No distant throne beyond the sky, But something moving through the dark, That calls without revealing why. [Final Chorus] Become—let the mystery bend Become—let the mystery bend For Being became becoming, And becoming has no end No trace leads back to the first home No ancient road reveals the way We carry echoes through the dark As beginnings turn and sway (become) (let the mystery bend)
