Temos Tempo

One step from the centre
A place out of time
A moment eternal
Where I long to be

I feel the wind burning
The fire calls me near
In a tongue I cannot hear
But the gaze makes all things clear

I wonder if I'm allowed to go
Where light will hide its face
When snow begins to fall again
And silence fills the space
It's the most beautiful sound I've known

When it comes, the fear is gone
Suddenly, it came to me
And softly said: Let's go

To rise up
Someone asked me then
If what makes me smile
Has come and gone, or still to be

It was here that love hid me
Then the sunlight slipped away
And the Moon was red as blood
A secret revealed
From a book once sealed
That undoes the past
And meets me in the air

No hand can ever copy this
Only One holds the key
He chooses what He wants from me
For He Himself planted the seed
What lies within the seed?

It gives new breath when it must die
And something new appears before me
Where clouds will soon move free

I'll rise
Someone asked me then
If what makes me smile
Has come and gone, or still to be

It was here that love hid me
And the Sun lost its glow
And the Moon was red as blood

Where is the ark? The one I told you to build
Where is your ark? Your ark, your ark
I gave you time, I gave you time
