Overhead the albatross
Hangs motionless upon the air
Deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine...
No one calls us to the land
No one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb toward the light...
Strangers pa**ing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
Help me understand the best I can...
No one calls us to move on
And no one forces down our eyes
No one speaks and no one tries
No one flies around the sun...
Cloudless every day you fall
Upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Comes streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright amba**adors of morning
No one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky
