Coach K - Upward lyrics

Upward as a phoenix rises life's truest blessings Only come to the ones who shine when even the sun is dark And the heart is tired weary from suffering's relentless fires Then comes onslaught by doubt upon thought's sharpened sword To keep imagination from enacting limitless forms Well then know each and every soul has forgotten its own Original infinite potential trust in the extra dimensional Hidden aisles and rotating tiles delivered in a barroom style With the hint of a gospel smile regardless there is no fate We cannot erase what ego may wish to charge mind can change What Satan may wish to possess god can claim Amongst whatever color and shape you may find yourself buried in End to begin within or as some say become born again That's why I get lost in the rhapsody Conjure the serpent's hood to shield the focus of intention From intervention by chaos ignorance or hatred My aim is to live fully in the present guided by faith Gratitude and self-contemplation up and up as if a child's balloon Lost all too soon time is a circle bend the spoon Through the hourgla** go ahead and ask who it is behind the mask Now lets speak about sources forces and ports of call When I come I come to sing on a mountain tall Never from one perspective I study as deeply as is to be expected Still I believe and remain open to see new directions Inflections and prophecies everyday I set sail like Telemachus for Ulysess How could I not with sk**s like these read omens As blind men read brail To gather pieces of the most sacred tale So then as to wade from cradle slipstream grave And bring the water to the wheel as if flesh to steel I am nobody's man steady as she goes I push off tomorrow As an arrow from the bow balancing between fate and free will The apple awaits the k** off from the dock tick-tock nonstop Whether dusk or dawn collapse the wave function And become the presence you wish to be Who we are is not the sum of any our histories I have no ability to explain with word languages The nature of the game except to say The deeper the root the higher grows the tree Without the details of our lives We would be unable to forget the forest for the tree And thus would be forced to face the greatest of mysteries Which could easily dwarf any well-built identity What we have most in common is the journey itself From life into d**h And d**h into life until the vibration at last comes to rest And is given the opportunity to witness the story of the light In its fullest only then with this as its guide May we to find true direction or bring our will to bear In this place called space and time where All must crumble into dust leaving us fingers crossed And one hand in the pocket of chance Up from the belly of the whale truth be told only time will tell
