VERSE ONE:
i have looked behind closed doors,
unlocked windows, climbed into homes
i've trudged on grass and collected stones
i've wept into rivers, it's my companion, sole
i've become at one with the lioness within
who rages and clambors her way out of the dust
and snarling, she picks up her prey and returns to her den
i have left my treasury on the entrance for a kind soul who finds them
and the village i once visited disappeared from my map
and the footsteps that thunder through me
i layed them bare and dissected their anatomy
they can't tell if I'm a friend or enemy or a star-selling merchant
nevertheless, my stories never sell just as well... as my stars
mysterious creatures, they are
they appear and light up the dark
what's a prettier miracle than stars?
CHORUS ONE:
i called upon a miracle
atop the clouds, so close to death
i felt its breath on my cheek
i changed my course midway
from travelling north on windy days
and ran so far, no one could find me
VERSE TWO:
i am a reckoning force
i am a chilling creature
i can sing like no one's heard before
i miss a step, so what?
i don't know who i live for
i am wild at heart but dangerous to play with
i left my destiny, it wasn't much to work with
i sing to sleep my mother's melody
CHORUS TWO:
i called upon a miracle
atop the clouds, so close to death
i felt its breath on my cheek
i changed my course midway
from travelling north, on windy days
and ran so far, no one could find me
i was resting on the trunk of a tree
i was turning my ages soullesly
and i heard the birds, heard them singing
and i felt like a child, finally seeing
BRIDGE:
i've come to say goodbye
to the past, the present, the future
i've come to say goodbye
to the ones above and below us
I've come to say goodbye
to the countries that took me in,
the spaceships i flew up in,
the planets i grew up in
(CHORUS)
