Lyrics

With the sun in place, there's a test of faith
Streams of thought awaken
New realities, singularities
Breaking all illusions
Your living is determined
Not so much by what life brings to you
As by the attitude you bring to life
Not so much by what happens to you
As by the way your mind looks at what happens
Out of suffering, have emerged the strongest souls
The most massive characters are seared with scars
Sudden burst of heat, burning source of life
Masterful destruction
Power's not an act, it's understanding truth
Changing my direction
Live in the moment, breathe in a new beginning
Wisdom revealed as I unlearn to learn
Life's biggest battles often are fought alone
My spirit brings me home
Emerald thoughts flow through my consciousness
Drawn to curses left behind
Test of will the threshold to one's faith
Starts a fire in the mind
Searching out, reaching in
To arrive where I began
Sights remembered in the light
Searching out, reaching in
To arrive where I began
Sounds remembered come alive
Embrace the days
Don't turn away
Life's true intent needs patience
Karma starts the signal
