lyrics

Open up, give your heart to the mystery
Turn the clock back and rewrite your history
Stand your ground, but let the ground move you
We move mountains that invite us to lose our
Self and other, the boundaries are merging
Exclusivity is not installed with this version
Identity, it can be limitation
But it could be myriad joys and a cause for celebration

You don’t have to be anyone at all (to) be who you are
You don’t have to be anything at all (to) be what you are
You don’t have to be anywhere at all (to) be where you are
You don’t have to be anyone at all (to) be who you are

Watch the air fall in love with condensation
The resulting clouds enamoured by precipitation
Just as the waves face the sand’s anticipation
The currents call for ocean deep meditation
Most clear in the water is your reflection
But it’s in the notes of the song, mirrored in every direction
Fluidity of the sounds in the soundless
Shrink back to the centre and expansion is boundless

You don’t have to be anyone at all (to) be who you are
You don’t have to be anything at all (to) be what you are
You don’t have to be anywhere at all (to) be where you are
You don’t have to be anyone at all (to) be who you are

Right from the very start you were writing on the parchment
Etching on the stone, “I don’t want to be alone”
When all at once you were all at one unwittingly
Your imagination stumbled on the revelation all alone
You could imagine forces, you could imagine spaces
You could imagine half a million versions of yourself with different faces
You could imagine love
You could imagine hell below and heaven up above
You could imagine you, you could imagine I
You could imagine feathered wings and bravely court the sky
And if you imagined that the sky had imagined you
Could you be the sky in you?

You don’t have to be anyone at all (to) be who you are
You don’t have to be anything at all (to) be what you are
You don’t have to be anywhere at all (to) be where you are
You don’t have to be anyone at all (to) be who you are
