[part i]
[chorus]
a tiny dot behind the sun
now fills the sky, is this the one?
move aside, i’m packin’ light
heaven’s calling, sp~ce is tight
[verse 1]
blood pumps through veins
lava flows quite the same
with no beating heart left to feed on the pain
pieces of shattered ark
slide through the square
count from the right
they speak abacus there
globes flying by
a random glint strikes my eye
reflections of the people inside
their skin seems to shine
memories are left behind
i raise my hand
can i grab a ride?
[chorus]
a tiny dot behind the sun
now fills the sky, is this the one?
move aside, i’m packin’ light
heaven’s calling, sp~ce is tight
[verse 2]
count up all the dots
there’s no time to waste
when comets come circlin’ around for a taste
they feel us from deep in sp~ce
sensing their chance
most brush on by, too confused by the dance
we’re moving fast
this is our time
people will be left behind
’round their feet are growing vines
worlds are stronger side by side
jump to the next one
waiting in line
[chorus]
a tiny dot behind the sun
now fills the sky, is this the one?
move aside, i’m packin’ light
heaven’s calling, sp~ce is tight
a tiny dot behind the sun
now fills the sky, is this the one?
move aside, i’m packin’ light
heaven’s calling, sp~ce is tight
[part ii]
[verse 1]
a lotus pebble in the wind
a blossom in the stream
the morning dew falls on my face
and wakes me from my dream
it was land not from far here
where everyone was glass
i saw right through their bodies
but they would not let me pass
they told me to abandon hope
to wish it was a mistake
their hopelessness was very clear but i remained awake
the more i reached beyond them as i tried to slither past
the harder they would push me until i gave up at last
but rivers are beneath my skin, through veins and through my bones
as my body turned to glass
they left me there alone
just as my last ray of hope attempted to depart
a flower in the breeze awoke the beating of my heart
i reached with my transparent hand and pulled it from the air
and suddenly a counsel made of glass was standing there
[verse 2]
my color had returned again
and clearly i was not like them
underneath a lotus tree
was where my trial was meant to be
my own words i did not renounce
the hope that they all live without
the evidence was my lone flower
it strengthened me and gave me power
[verse 3]
the verdict came with no delay
i was guilty, i should pay
before the sentencing could be
i ran and shook the lotus tree
the blossoms fell along the snow
upon the heads of those below
screams rang out as bodies scattered
flowers fell and people shattered
[part iii]
[verse 1]
the flowers, they could not withstand
reduced their glassy falls to sand
and soon a blissful silence fell upon the sandy lotus knell
a wind came up and gently blew the petals all around
a lightning fall in the mist then wreathes the sand
into the ground
[verse 2]
i watched the petals flutter by
and land upon the stream
i raised my face and let the water wash my body clean
wash my body clean
wash my body clean
[part iv]
[chorus]
a tiny dot behind the sun
now fills the sky, is this the one?
move aside, i’m packin’ light
heaven’s calling, sp~ce is tight
a tiny dot behind the sun
now fills the sky, is this the one?
move aside, i’m packin’ light
heaven’s calling, sp~ce is tight
