I open my eyes to the edge of the room Light on the walls and the shape of the moon Breath in my chest and the floor under me The world is wider than I used to see The sound of the wind The space in the air The feeling of being exactly right here Something awakens before any name Before every story I learned to explain I can feel it turning Like a compass in the night This is the living map This is the place I start Before every memory Before every thought Deep in the river below the words Deep in the rhythm beneath the world I am alive I am aware I can feel the spark that's always there This is the living map The living map of me Heartbeat dancing beneath my skin Millions of signals moving within Organs and muscles and rivers of light Keeping their wisdom through day and through night The lungs keep rising The pulse keeps time Life keeps unfolding one moment at a time A feeling of being A feeling of flow A current beneath everything I know I can feel it moving Like sunlight through the trees This is the living map This is the place I start Before every memory Before every thought Deep in the river below the words Deep in the rhythm beneath the world I am alive I am aware I can feel the spark that's always there This is the living map The living map of me First comes the body Then comes the feeling Then comes the story The meaning revealing From the deep foundations To the dreams above From awareness Into love From the roots To the sky One unfolding life Where am I? Here. What do I feel? Life. What is moving? Breath. What is growing? Awareness. This is the living map This is the place I start Beneath every chapter Beneath every heart Deep in the river below the words Deep in the rhythm beneath the world I am alive I am aware I can feel the spark that's always there The body remembers The spirit can rise The roots reach downward The branches touch skies This is the living map The living map of me Before the story Before the name There is a living flame And every breath And every beat Brings me home to where I meet The living map The living map The living map of me.
