Lyrics
Parabola
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.
So familiar and overwhelmingly warm
This one, this form I hold now
Embracing you, this reality here
This one, this form I hold now
So wide eyed and hopeful
Wide eyed and hopefully wild
We barely remember what came before this precious moment
We're choosing to be here
Right now, hold on, stay inside
This body, holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel eternal, all this pain is an illusion
We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment
We are choosing to be here
Right now, hold on, stay inside this holy reality
This holy experience we're choosing to be here in
This body, this body holding me
Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me
Feeling eternal, all this pain is an illusion
Alive, I'm
In this holy reality
In this holy experience we're choosing to be here in
This body, this body holding me
Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me
Feeling eternal, all this pain is an illusion
Twirling round with this familiar parable
Spinning, weaving round each new experience
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing
A chance to be alive and breathing
This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality
Embrace this moment, remember
We are eternal, all this pain is an illusion
