Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Black then white are

All I see

In my infancy

Red and yellow then came to be

Reaching out to me

Lets me see

[Verse 2]

As below so above and beyond I imagine

Drawn beyond the lines of reason

Push the envelope

Watch it bend

[Verse 3]

Over thinking, over analyzing, separates the body from the mind

Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must

[Verse 4]

Feed my will to feel my moment

Drawing way outside the lines

[Verse 5]

Black then white are

All I see

In my infancy

Red and yellow then came to be

Reaching out to me

Lets me see

[Verse 6]

There is so much more and

Beckons me

To look through to these

Infinite possibilities

[Verse 7]

As below so above and beyond I imagine

Drawn outside the lines of reason

Push the envelope

Watch it bend

[Verse 8]

Over thinking, over analyzing, separates the body from the mind

Withering my intuition, leaving opportunities behind

[Verse 9]

Feed my will to feel this moment

Urging me to cross the line

Reaching out to embrace the random

Reaching out to embrace whatever may come

[Verse 10]

I embrace my desire to

I embrace my desire to

Feel the rhythm

To feel connected

Enough to step aside and

Weep like a widow

To feel inspired

To fathom the power

To witness the beauty

To bathe in the fountain

To swing on the spiral

To swing on the spiral

To swing on the spiral

Of our divinity and

Still be a human

[Verse 11]

With my feet upon the ground

I lose myself between the sounds

And open wide to suck it in

I feel it move across my skin

I'm reaching up and reaching out

I'm reaching for the random or

Whatever will bewilder me

Whatever will bewilder me

And following our will and wind

We may just go where no one's been

We'll ride the spiral to the end

And may just go where no one's been

Spiral out, keep going

Spiral out, keep going

Spiral out, keep going

Spiral out, keep going
