Herstory

Again I walk alone under
the sky amidst the sea of faces
Not knowing a single soul
everywhere I turn
is another life in another place

Tears of joy stream down my face
as I think about the might-have-beens
But when that voice goes off inside my head
I repeat with the voice of the world

And I, oh I, feel the sunrise
so close to me and yet so far
(Oooh, oooh)
And I, oh I, feel the sunrise
so close to me and yet so far
(Oooh, oooh)

As sighs of the deceased pass throughmy lungs in separate, desolate elegies,
I feel the energy of wind pass by at once
and all too soon the alienation withers away
I've always known that despair comes and goes
but why life is the bull I tame I can never fathom
All too soon it breaks, as light falls on the earth
when I am reborn as another

And I, oh I, feel the sunrise
so close to me, and yet so far
(Oooh, oooh)
And I, oh, I, feel the sunrise
so close to me and yet so far

Why do these tears cry when heat is abundant
in these deserts of longing hopes and power?
(Ahh, ahh)
What can the wind do to save us
when we have fires in our hands?
(Oooh, oooh)
When will wars cease
and words fail to please?

And I, oh I, needed no one
I have made it this far alone
(Oooh, oooh)

And I, oh I, found salvation
somewhere in the forests of life
(Oooh, oooh)

Life and its currents move so fast
that they can pass us by in a flash
but no matter how many times I lost my grasp
something tells me always and forever
"This is not the end if you still feel
there are more steps to take,"
And I always find that hand again
The hand I know so well...

And I, oh I, feel the sunrise
so close to me and yet so far
(Oooh, oooh)
And I, oh I, feel the sunrise
so close to me and yet so far
(Oooh, oooh)

And I, oh I, have found redemption
In the form of the last innocent
(Oooh, oooh)

And I, oh I, oh I, oh I...

And I, oh I, feel the sunrise
so close to me and yet so far
(Oooh, oooh)
And I, oh I, feel the sunrise
so close to me and yet so far
(Oooh, oooh)

And I, oh I, feel the sunrise
so close to me and yet so far
(Oooh, oooh)
And I, oh I, feel the sunrise
so close to me and yet so far

No longer am I here alone...
