Overhead the albatross hangs
motionless upon the air
And 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
And no one showed us
to the land
And no one knows
the where's or why's
But something stirs
and something tries
And starts to climb
towards the light
Strangers passing
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
And help me understand
the best I can
And no one calls us to move on
And no one forces
down our eyes
And no one speaks
And no one tries
And 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
ambassadors of morning
And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me
close my eyes
So I tore the windows wide
And call to you across the sky
