lyrics

a still, quiet crane
poised by the lotus
on a flawless emerald plate
it waits, and waits

so what is thought,
but a chance to slow down the time?
to keep it from slipping between fingertips
and holes in our hands

you are the sun in the morning
lighting the waves
fly by my garden on your way

for what are we but bodies?

so what is chance,
but the aligning of time?
the dots intersect
and can fade when regrets
fall into our pride

we laid in sacred places;
breathed the calmest seas;
we grew branches on each others' trees

for what are we but bodies?
