Gravity

(Lyrics - Terry Althouse)

Tiny lights before my eyes, burning with the darkened night.
Beckons on my childish sight, hinting at the power of light.

Passages and trails unseen, highways glare with packaged green.
Hazy roads and sleepy towns, luring, lilting siren sounds.

CHORUS

I know I'm here, I see me there.
Duality obscures the compass north
Is gravity my friend or foe?
I can not fall here on the floor,
by standing up, will I be more?
Though I may run around the world,
flying waits for wings unfurled.

....Where are my wings?

Hollow eyes in hallowed smiles, a tiny gift in scarlet hands.
Throngs of undirected will, cower in celestial sheds

Sprawled upon the temple floor, I'm only cold, there's nothing more.
Deny the questions in my head, a martyr's pain just leaves me dead

CHORUS

I see me there, I know I'm here
Duality obscures the compass north
Is gravity my foe or friend?
I can not fall here on the floor
Will bowing down transmute my end?
Though I may dream around the world
flying waits for wings unfurled.

Which way the sky?

In the mountains made of glass, precision rules the ordered plan.
Techno god imprisoned mass, elevates the hand of man.

Though they tower to the sky, a testament to those who try.
The angles of those numbered days, automates my own malaise.

CHORUS

I know I'm there, I see me here
Duality obscures the compass north
Gravity, my friend, my foe
I can not fall here on the floor
By looking close, now I see more
If I could feel around the world
flying wings will soar unfurled
Perhaps I'll fly......
....high.

This way the sky
