I promised myself I'm gonna to dream a little more/ Take my mind to higher heights, ascend into flight/ My metamorphosis is complete, I no longer compete/ A butterfly now, drifting floating/ Throughout this life I'm expanding my range/ Engaged in deep thought, I'm demanding a change/ The contradictions that surround me, the beauty that grounds me/ Whispers in the wind, and now it all begins/ I'm talking about these poetic analogies personified/ I'm talking about what's really real when they all cried, “ If I will it so, it is”/ Laying down the law, high colonics for the soul, showing things you never saw/ Breathing words of liberation, taking you to the station/ Where we all do well, but stayed hidden from our selves/ Stepped out of cocoons, no longer larva stage/ Good's a work in progress, we gonna pen a new page/ Now I done seen a lot of things in my short time here/ I take, store and move on/ Infinite is wisdom when one knows the source/ Immeasurable the value of choosing the right course/ So it's left foot, right foot, and left and back again/ The good guys suffered losses, but we're back to when/ So factor in the truth, you can't hold back the flow/ When the water takes course there's nowhere else to go/ So sink or swim, it's us or them/ Final Conflict engaged/ Good's a work in progress, we gonna pen a new page/ Stage set, place your bets, negatives terminated/ Precisely what we stated so we build
Isn't it a little odd, we keep moving, we keep moving
It's always a little hard, but we keep moving, we keep moving
I made way through life feeling myself an individual, but subconsciously could never shake you/ Everywhere I go, and everywhere I see, you were me, I was you/ Actualization, now that's a breakthrough/ Closer to perfection as we fuse into singular/ Natural selection, I told them inherent/ Felt the call to hear the words, came to see/ Share in the truth/ Eat of my flesh, drink of my blood, together we feast/ Told of Daydreams maybes that became a must/ Unselfish existence, love from dawn to dusk/ Water-like thinking for your spiritual atrophy/ You want refuge from evil? Repeat after me/ Born this, formless, negatives they try to swarm this/ Oblivious, I resist, they could never harm this/ Being of enlightenment, because I've got a tightened grip, on the ways of the wise, butterflies/ Again, mind over matter, everlasting wins the bout/ This sanctuary for love, cast the evil ways out/ Live your days out spreading this unpopular mind frame/ Laying foundations for when things change so we build
Isn't it a little odd, we keep moving, we keep moving
It's always a little hard, but we keep moving, we keep moving

Willow led me here! Pilentze Pee via Mir Stanke Le. The opening quotes in the description about sounds and the voice as an instrument resonate strongly with me.
My first intro to Agnes Obel and the Late Night Tales series, what a phenomenal idea! Love the mix of selections and original material, Bee Dance packs so much punch for its track length zephyr707
