Lyrics
The Big Music
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.
I have heard
the big music
and I'll never be the same
something so pure
just called my name
I have drowned
in the big sea
now I find I'm still alive
And I'm coming up forever
shadows all behind me
ecstacy to come
I have climbed the big tree
touched the big sky
I just stuck my
hand up in the air
and everything came into colour
like jazz manna
from sweet chariots
I have seen the big mountain
and I swear I'm halfway there
- You'll never get there
you'll never get there
you'll never get there
- But I will
I will always climb the mountain
because I have heard the big music
and I'll never be the same
Something so pure
has called
my name
