Would I stand atop a river bank alone in my mind
At least I'd shout like a seeress shouts a curse
As she calls a wind from the sky to drag a nightmare away
But my books are tired, my visions full of beings
That haven't humbled their necks around the world
They want to capture me and take me with them into empty air
I travel without moving, the depths calm me down
Even as the questions shout their choral chant
I travel without moving, the depths calm me down
Even as the questions shout their choral chant
They don't remember that a human only owns a life
That too they want to claim as their own
Now the time has come to recognize all the faces
You thought you had forgotten behind the everyday smokescreen
The dreams won't leave us in peace even if we abandon them
I leave late at night, finally it's time
The ice is so black over the depths
Whose dark lap of love I know
To have embraced so many a pilgrim
I travel without moving, the depths calm me down
Even as the questions shout their choral chant
I travel without moving, the depths calm me down
Even as the questions shout their choral chant
They don't remember that a human only owns a life
That too they want to claim as their own
