Lyrics
Go as far west as you can
Encouragement to travel westward as far as possible.
Through the evergreen’s until your feet reach the sand
Travel through the evergreen landscape until reaching the sandy shores.
And only stop, when you think your heart has found
Keep going until you feel your heart has found a sacred place.
A piece of sacred ground
Emphasis on finding a spiritually significant location.
Build his
Instruction to build a house on the most beautiful spot on an island.
house on
-the most beautiful spot on
-the island
-We’ve sent blueprints and wood and stone
Materials sent for building, including stained glass for windows; trust in finding meaning when searching.
And stained glass for windows
-Trust his mind, that when you search you will find
-Build his
Reiteration of the instruction to build on the most beautiful spot on the island.
house on
-the most beautiful spot on
-the island
-When you cut the ribbons and open the doors
Upon completion, cut ribbons, open doors, and pray for the preservation of the sacred space.
Get down on your knees close to the floor and pray
Suggests a humble posture, kneeling close to the floor, in prayer for the enduring sanctity of the place.
That it will remain
Expresses hope that the sacred space will endure.
That nothing will rise up, up to the sky tops
Wish that nothing negative will rise to threaten the sanctity, reaching up to the sky.
And take away…
Desire for the preservation of the sacred space.
