Ingrid Chavez - The First Darshan (Song For Ameera) lyrics

The mountain seemed closer Then it really was The tarred road eternal Slicing through the salt flats Sparkling in the simmering sun The country Laid out before us From the northern great plains To the camel colored hills Of San Ramon We drove on through the night Crossing state lines Some unspoken promise Calling us Calling us west Our world was in you With your golden hair Now brown And wide eyes shy of two Now lined in kohl You had us to yourself then Angel seed Sown into the heartland Sewn into the heart A thread unbroken The long road lead us to her door The scent of jasmine filled the air We laid beneath the slow sway of a willow tree All color faded to white Waiting for the unknown Waiting for her And with the grace of god in her stride She arrived... When she pulled us into her lap You were the first And like a great house over you We were in her arms Halleluja! Halleluja!
