The Quickening

Suddenly, well there's this friend of mine
Suddenly, this good old friend is on my mind
Different, oh, what's come over me?
I heard him speak and the stars melted, in my knees
I felt it
Oh, didn't know I could feel so good
Oh, I didn't think anybody could
Hey, what have you done to me?
Said welcome to the quickening
How you come to life
Welcome to the quickening
Suddenly, his face, over any other face
Suddenly, hm, I couldn't see past him
And suddenly, I wonder what his touch would taste like
And when I dream he followed me and I could feel
Everything
Oh, it feels so good
Oh, I didn't know I could
What you've done for me
Said welcome to the quickening
Now you've come alive
Welcome to the quickening
Hey kid, you're gonna be alright
Hey kid, you're gonna be alright
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
