In this magic hour of softening light
|
The moments in between the day and the night
|
The instant when all shadows disappear
|
The distance in between the love and the fear
|
|
There's a longing deep within the wandering soul
|
It's like the half that understands it once was whole
|
Like the two who only dream of being one
|
Like the moon whose only light is in the sun
|
|
There's a danger in forever looking outside
|
You start to believe that all your prayers have been denied
|
And you forget the sound of your own name
|
And thus begins the suffering and the pain
|
|
I wanted an answer, I wanted a way
|
I wanted to know just what to do and what to say
|
I wanted a reason, I want(ed) to know why
|
Can there never be heaven right here on Earth and peace inside
|
|
Inside my heart
|
Deep in my soul
|
Within each part
|
And in the whole
|
|
There's a promise in the journeys of the mind
|
You begin to believe that there are miracles you will find
|
And that someday you'll remember who you are
|
The seed within a bright and shining star
|
|
That's like the flame that lives within a hungering heart
|
That only awaits a gift of love for it to spark
|
Into a fire that burns forever, endlessly
|
Like the river that can't help but meet the sea
|
|
In this magic hour between the dark and the dawn
|
In the space between the silence and the song
|
Suddenly the mystery is clear
|
That love is only letting go of fear
|
|
Love is the answer and love is the way
|
Love is in knowing just what to do and what to say
|
And love is the reason, love is the why
|
And love is in heaven right here on Earth and peace inside
|
|
Inside your heart
|
Deep in your soul
|
Within each part
|
And in the whole
|
|
Love is the answer and love is the way
|
Love is in knowing just what to do and what to say
|
Love is the reason, love is the why
|
And love is in heaven right here on Earth and peace inside
|
