To soak in epic wonders
Let them saturate my skin
To look out the window of a subway train
On my way to him
To tell myself a story
Maybe no one else will hear
To let my sadness echo into music as I heal
Into music as I heal
Oh solitude you give me a moment
And I wrap it round my body here
I'm gonna let you fill my mind
'til I find a way to fight against fear
Solitude you give me a moment
I can feel you make me stronger now
'til I get, 'til I get, 'til I get 'til I get there
To laugh at all small failures
To smile at all my cares
To cultivate my power
As I admire theirs
To dig up sources of my happiness
An archaeology of joy
To stretch out my limbs like a lazy cat
To play like a little boy
No one can take from me
These quiet mysteries
I dance to a love supreme
I plot my strategies
Snow me the silence down
And wrap it round
Preserve it and serve it as a reverent child
