One winter morning before teaching on the top floor of one of my schools the sky was an absolute beauty and it seemed as though the world had been cleansed of any wrongdoing that had gone before. I had the feeling that there is a promise of light for each of us if our purposes and our hearts are pure.
lyrics
The slow yawn
The warmth brings it on
A thawing has begun
Forget what night has done
It's ok
A deep breath
Like fire through the veins
A broken silent of night
A place where dreams take flight
It's ok
It's all ok
To the promise of light
We are someone
To those who promise the earth
We are no one
So I will speak my mind
One line at a time
and I seek the truth
One lie at a time
Something in the air we breathe is innocent
Its only when we breathe it out it's different
It's ok
It's all ok
In the promise of light
We are someone
For those who desire the earth
We are no one
So I will clear my mind
One thought at a time
And I will seek the truth
Where ever it lies
Something in the air we breathe is innocent
It's only when when we breathe it out it's different
