about

This is a song about having the faith to believe in a type of beauty that both touches and transcends human experience. This is a beauty woven into the fabric of the universe, but it can only be experienced as faith because it cannot be tested in scientific investigation or proven by logical reasoning, and it is so grand we never fully or perfectly comprehend it. This song is also about how emotions, both good and bad, have the potential to make us aware of this beauty and move us toward it.

lyrics

Forests and rivers, glaciers and oceans
Particles and neurons, human emotion
Swirls a kaleidoscope of beauty so wide
Sometimes I pause and tremble inside
May I understand what I clasp in my hand
A planet in need with people who bleed
Flowers today could wither away
Now I am living, so I will pray

All of my senses, all my emotion
May they bring me closer, put me in motion
To a kaleidoscope of beauty so wide
Sometimes I pause and tremble inside
May I feel the joy, may I hope may I grieve
Give me compassion, let me believe
Even my sadness, anger and fear
Drawing me closer, drawing me near

Sometimes a fire, sometimes a light
Sometimes living water, like stars in the night
Swirls a kaleidoscope of all that’s inside me
Feelings that swell like waves on the sea
May my arms embrace, may I feel in my face
Laughter and tears and a love that is near
Beauty so vast and beauty so wide
Sometimes I pause and tremble inside
