Like a statue made of clay
I was longing for a life
Waiting for a spark in me
Waiting for a spark to be
Then the miracle showed up
And I truly came to be
I could burn my little flame
Make it larger – make it grow
All
I had
to do
was see
All
I had
to be
was me
I wake up – what shall I do?
What I did the other day?
Or perhaps the day before?
Said a statue made of clay
Shining stars above my head
Burning bright for me to see
Though they made no sense to me
So I stopped to raise my head
and search for the light
for the light above
and the light that shines within my inner soul
In the dark
Closed inside a box
I kept myself
alone
What led me to this nothing-ness I
long for a way to get outside
I want to shine again like stars by their own light
Want to find again
what I now long for
[Why] Why I’m standing here now
[I] Where I’m truly going to
[Am] What I should accomplish
[Here] and why t’ is important
[Why] What does truly matter
[I] What I should abandon
[Am] What I need to look for
[Here] That keeps burnin ‘nside of me
All too easy seemed to be
All was needed was for me
to walk through those fixed steps
Well arranged for me to see
Fixed steps preset my path
Footfalls leading to nowhere
Telling me what play to act
Telling me what mask to wear
on the stage of life
acting as if were
a true story rather than a plot done to the very death
Leading me
To a fairy land
that does exist nowhere
What led me to this emptyness I
need a new way to get outside
I want to burn again and shine by my own light
Want to find again
what I now long for
[Why] Why I’m standing here now
[I] Where I’m truly going to
[Am] What I will accomplish
[Here] and why it’s important
[Why] Why I’m writing these words
[I] Where they lead my soul to
[Am] What I will find once there
[Here] Why it is so important
[Why] What does truly matter
[I] What I should learn anew
[Am] What I need to look for
[Here] To keep my flame burning
[Why] Where shall I find my self
[I] And if I will tell me
[Am] That the path was worth it
[Here] More than all the steps on it
All I had to do was to look and see
All I did have to be was me – Just
nothing else but me
