Lyrics
May I?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crash of worlds?
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crash of worlds?
Did I hear a thunder?
Did I hear you break?
I can't quite remember
Just what guided me this way, oh
The pines, they often whisper
They whisper what no tongue can tell
He who drinks from the deep water
May he know the depths of the well
World
Mmm, oh, traveler
What have you seen?
Were there crossroads
Where you been, where you been?
I once was standing tall
Now I feel my back is against the wall
The morning light
When it comes to me
It was there but I could not see
Am I to wander
As a wayward son?
Will the hunter be hunted
By the smoking gun?
