A prayer of inspiration for the disollusioned to find hope again.

lyrics

NOT DEAD YET
1
What do you say to yourself in the morning?
What story becomes you when you wake
How do you wander through a garden of nightmares,
Giving more than you could possibly take?


I have silenced my dreams by screaming louder than the wind
that brings them to me in the dark.
I've dimmed all the lights on the ship floating in the harbor,
The captain too drunk to embark.

Chorus:
You’re not dead yet—open your eyes
Breath by breath Time to arise
Forgive the past and let desire crystalize
make room for the mystery to be your guide

2
Now Soft music billows from light in the night skies
standing on the edge of the sheer cliff side
Open arms wide to feel the moon rise
Winnowing the crystal from the fluorescently disguised
magic is breath, the mundane is not deprived
The rose that was stolen Left a thorn in your side
you couldn’t see its beauty through your covetous eyes
Now Touch and smell its center become the truth waiting inside

Chorus

3
Heal all wounds with a drop of this delight
So sweet it’s lusted after by swarms of buzzing flies
wipe that sweat as Chin touches sky
Returning to daylight, forgiveness realized
The life of our dreams is not out of reach
Dreams are crashing on the sand beneath your feet
Take off your shoes, let your body lie
And become engulfed in blissful tryst at the next high tide

Chorus
