Świat oczami Beat(k)i

In the 33rd year of her journey
She hits the hard land of wonder
That nothing prepared her for
And the guide books go blank and quideless
And the guiding lights are holes in the darkness
And parachutes won’t unfold

It’s her birthday – the candles are burning
And the memories keep returning
Glossy postcards from some other life
She reopens her box of glory
But she can only see blossoms falling
How the gravity brings things down

Am I the river, or am I the boat?
There’s swirly dark water wherever I go
Am I the paper, or am I the pen
Possessed and driven
By some Greater Hand…?

So tired of constant trying
In the red eye of another day dying
She sees beauty she’ll never embrace
Stillhaunted by phantoms of freedom
She turns to the innocent wisdom
Engraved in her daughter’s face

Am I the river, or am I the boat?
There’s swirly dark water wherever I go
Am I the paper, or am I the pen
Possessed and driven
By some Greater Hand…?

So, could it be love is all that matters
That rough pillow of splinters and feathers
No one ever can rest upon?
As she follows the smell of roses
Is she choosing or being chosen
Moving closer or farther from home?

Am I the river, or am I the boat?
There’s swirly dark water wherever I go
Am I the paper, or am I the pen
Possessed and driven
By some Greater Hand…?

When my feet were in shackles
And my hands were in chains
You took my mind and made it settle
In a land so far away

When I was toiling in the fields (yeah)
You made me push on through
Yes I’m head over heels,
Over heels in love with you
Yes I’m head over heels,
Over heels in love with you

When I was in the womb
You made me wanna see this world
Every setting of the moon
I dreamt of you being my girl

Say ooh I can’t deny
Without you I would be dead
And the day that I die
I die with you in my head,
Yes the day that I die
I die with you in my head,
In my head in my head

chorus1:
There’s just no get away
When you’re dancing in my brain
When I’m cruising on your waves
Coulda never go astray (ooh)
Repeat chorus

Everything is music
I just put parts in a frame
To capture this very moment
And never let it go away
They use you and abuse you
And treat you like a thing
Forever I’ll be faithful
have your back untill the end
Forever I’ll be faithful
have your back untill the end
