The Rose Above the Sky
Beyond the Razor's Edge: Unveiling Life's Transcendent Symphony
Lyrics
Something jeweled slips away
Something precious is slipping away
Round the next bend with a splash
Around the next turn, disappearing with a splash
Laughing at the hands I hold out
Mocking the efforts I extend
Only air within their grasp
Only emptiness is within their reach
All you can do is praise the razor
Praising the sharpness of a cut, possibly metaphorical
For the fineness of the slash
Highlighting the precision of a significant change
'Til the rose above the sky
Until an extraordinary transformation occurs
Opens
A symbolic rose blooms or unfolds
And the light behind the sun
The hidden illumination surpasses the sun
Takes all
It takes everything
Gutless arrogance and rage
Bravery without substance and intense anger
Burn apart the best of tries
Destructively disassembling the best attempts
You carry the weight of inherited sorrow
Bearing the burden of sorrows passed through generations
From your first day till you die
From birth to death
Toward that hilltop where the road
Heading towards a peak where the path eternally merges with the sky
Forever becomes one with the sky
Symbolizing unity
'Til the rose above the sky
Until a profound change takes place
Opens
A metaphorical rose unfolding
And the light behind the sun
A light surpassing the sun
Takes all
It takes everything
Ozone on the midnight wind
Ozone in the night breeze
Got me thinking of the sea
Eliciting thoughts of the sea
And the mercies of the currents that brought
Considering the kindness of the currents that brought two individuals together
Me to you and you to me
The interconnection between "me" and "you"
And in the silence at the heart of things
In the quiet core of existence
Where all true meetings come to be
Where genuine encounters take place
'Til the rose above the sky
Until a significant transformation occurs
Opens
A metaphorical rose unfolding
And the light behind the sun
A light surpassing the sun
Takes all
It takes everything
