Rafael's Interlude
Rafael's Reflection: A Soul's Journey Through Questions
Lyrics
I saw a bird on my window and I
I observed a bird perched on my window
Watched it stare at the sky
Watched it gazing at the sky
I hear hear it's song and think of fondness
I hear its song and reminisce about fond memories
Remember when we cried
Recall a time when we shared tears
If you've touched heaven will you let me know
If you've experienced something heavenly, inform me
What it's like
Describe what that experience is like
I've only been to the doors, I've only been to the doors
I've only approached the doors of heaven
Let me know, if skies are made of honey
Let me know if the skies are as sweet as honey
Do souls, fly above
Do souls soar above like in old movies?
Like in those old time movies
Reference to old movies where characters fly
Are the rivers pure, does god heal the throne you had
Questions about the purity of rivers and divine healing
Can you visit thoughts, can you make them last
Can you enter thoughts and make them endure?
Can you taste the sun, from which it birthed
Can you taste the sun's essence?
Flowers plucked from divine earth
Reference to divine flowers on earth
Do they come in sets of shades of green
Questioning if these flowers have various shades of green
Do they fall from hands and onto me
Do they fall from hands onto me?
And you trickle back the hands of time
Describing the reversal of time to inquire about well-being
To simply ask if you were fine
Expressing a desire to say certain things to you
Certain things I'd say
Undisclosed specific messages to you
To you
Addressed to "you"
Let me know, let me know, would you let me know
Repetition of the request to be informed
Let me know, take me home
Expressing a desire to be taken home
Would you let me know, let me know
Repetition of the plea for information
Would you let me know, would let me know
Reiteration of the plea for information
Would you
Direct question, seeking an answer
Even from the beginning to the end of this project
Shift to a personal reflection on a creative project
You know I wrote a lot of stuff down
Mention of extensive writing during the project
Struggling with figuring out who I was
Struggling with self-identity and purpose
What my purpose was
Reflection on the evolving understanding of oneself
With each track I kind of come back to myself a little bit more
With each track, returning to a deeper self-awareness
So, for those listening and feel touched by it
Addressing the audience and welcoming them home
Welcome home
A warm invitation to those touched by the music
Would you, would you take me home
Repetition of the plea to be taken home
