From the recording I am Eternal
Lyrics
COLORING BOOK
You can take a coloring book, fill it full of symbols be a child again
You can live inside a city try to find a place and maybe wonder when
But what about life Can you handle it leave it alone?
Could you swim beside a sea of dolphins?
Could you sing like the dolphin sings?
You can give yourself to struggle see the lion eat the lamb
You can be a sorcerer's lover clasp your hands together even love your land
But what about time, can you handle it , leave it alone,
Can you stop it even for a moment?
Could you stop it even for a time?
All I love is in your eyes
Which tell me for a time your open to surprise
In the sea I see you walking by
The wind begins to howl and tears come to your eyes
For a moment passing by a mountain opens up to the sea's embrace,
A million years go by I look into your eyes forget your face
But what about love can you handle it, leave it alone?
Can you give forget about the taking?
Can you take forget about yourself?
If tomorrow comes the sun goes down the moon forgets to rise
You look into the darkness all around you aren't afraid to die
Then what about dreams, can you handle them leave them alone?
Could you fly alone like an eagle?
Could you wait for a Kingdom like a King?
