In a world as frazzled as ever by human separation, I wanted to create something that would soothe. This is an ode to the unimaginable vastness of the universe and all the beauty it holds, big and small. It’s a reminder that our worries aren’t even a fraction of a drop in a bucket compared to the miracle that our breath stokes an inner fire that drives our bodies. Maybe this song stirs such thoughts in you in a comforting sort of way. Or maybe thoughts will disappear as you float on the gentle current of a stream, staring up at the clouds on a placid summer day.
lyrics
When eyes cloud out with doubt
and tears fall from the clouds
the soul cries out
and fear holds us till we drown
all or nothing
we are all
we are nothing
we are free
in eternity
we are free in eternity
every time it feels too steep to climb
we are alone
whatever it's about, we'll work it out
we'll make it home
don't you worry
don't you fret
we're not beaten yet
all or nothing
we are all
we are nothing
we are free
in eternity
we are free
in eternity
