BEHOLD LYRICS

1. CLIMB TO YOU

Alone in my carousel on the sand
white stallions and tin cans
A boats moves on the red horizon
I hold a lotus in my hand
Everything has turned the color blue
how dare you shoot your arrow  
in my chest and break through
It makes me want to climb to you
I want to climb to you

I wanna climb
I wanna climb to you

I’ve been looking for you down every side street
This love tastes so bitter and it tastes so sweet
Beneath the violence if you can
hold a lotus in your hand

I wanna climb
I wanna climb to you

You lit up my heart
built me up till I fell apart
You opened up my scars
and climbed into my soul
I wonder what it all means to you
inside the heart
inside the mind
You’ve come into my life  
in such an unexpected time

And I wanna climb
I wanna climb to you

 

2. SWEET LOVE

(Woh-oh-oh)
This sweet love
that you’ve given to me
You open yourself willingly
and it’s filling my body
This sweet love  
that you’ve given to me

I’m talking about your sweet kiss
your open arms
your holy hands
all your endless charms

Your sweet love
that you’ve given to me
I’m floating in a divine dream
I’m tumbling in the sea
of the sweet love
that you’ve given to me

I’m talking about your sweet kiss
your open arms
your holy hands
all your endless charms

You disarm me with your smile
disappear now
or stay
for a while

I’m standing in the middle
of a love storm
Suspended in this wave
that we’ve formed

It’s made of your sweet kiss
your open arms
your holy hands
all your endless charms

This sweet love
that you’ve given to me

 

3. BEHOLD

Behold the bravery in being a beginner
a bloody bloom beneath the bony bird cage
Behold the bravery in walking backwards
begging to belong to yourself  
To be the beloved bell that listens
the booming bear who balances between worlds
Behold the bravery
Biting into one’s bizarre beaten track
of their behavior
I’m gonna face the bang bang battles of blame
trickle down of family flame
buried birthmarks soon to burst
a bloody bloom but first
Behold the bravery in being a because  
for someone else
In the moment of their baffled brow
you put their blizzard on the burner of  
“I believe in you” and they burst
Behold a buffet of butterflies
blossoming into bridges
balancing between worlds
Behold the bravery in being a beginner
brilliant in your bewilderment
Behold the bravery in being a beginner
bruised in the blush of becoming

 

4. BUTTER

Your lips are like sweet butter  
as we roll in the sky like loud thunder
Your lips
Your lips

Meet me on the roof tonight
and we will dance
amidst the thunder and the light
in a trance
I’ll be floating above the ground
now I’m falling down
Meet me there

When two souls melt into one
sweet honey is tasted
as hot as the sun

I wanna lick the light off your skin
wanna be
wanna be
wanna be  
tasting you

Your lips are like sweet butter
as we roll in the sky like loud thunder
Your lips
your lips

Your lips are like sweet butter
as we roll
falling down

When two souls melt into one
sweet honey is tasted
as hot as the sun

I wanna lick the light off your skin
wanna be
wanna be
wanna be  
tasting you

 

5. LIFE ALONE

I don’t wanna live this life alone
Coming home to your eyes
You help me realize
that I don’t wanna live this life alone

Strange journey of joy and faith
In the dark I find a place
And there’s one small light
that shines on the cave wall
illuminating me
And I don’t wanna live this life alone
I don’t wanna be scared to show

Ask me to love you
ask me to hold you
ask me to know you
Ask me to want you
to listen and teach you
ask me to show you
cause I don’t wanna live this life alone

I don’t know all the answers
I only know what my heart tells me  
late and night
I try to listen to the things it says
I try to reach out  
for that one small light

Ask me to love you
ask me to hold you
ask me to know you
Ask me to want you
to listen and teach you
Ask me to show you

Little by little
the waves roll over me
lost in this beauty
I’ve got my hands full of pictures  
and my heart open wide
I can see that you’re finally on my side
I am waking up to something right
images of this small light
and I’m not alone

Ask me to love you
ask me to hold you
ask me to know you
Ask me to want you
to listen and teach you
ask me to show you
cause I don’t wanna live this life alone
I’ve come home

 

6. DANCE WITH ME

Put down your weapons tonight
I refuse to fight
war with war and fear with fear
I need you now with me
Can we talk about our boundries
the walls we build in our love
Can we talk about what we’re scared of

Dance with me
what have you got to lose
I’m willing to open my heart and be real
so why not choose
to dance with me
dance with me
Why not take a chance with me

Your silence is giving you away
I know you’ve got so much to say  
Behind the pain and the pride
isn’t it love that’s burning inside

Dance with me
what have you got to lose
I’m willing to open my heart and be real
so why not choose
to dance with me
dance with me
Why not take a chance with me

Imagine this
dancing with what we resist
Imagine this
balancing in endlessness

I’m reaching out my hand
Let’s take it slow tonight
to the rhythm of surrender
Then we both win this fight

Dance with me
what have you got to lose
I’m willing to open my heart and be real
so why not choose
to dance with me
dance with me
Why not take a chance with me

7. BITE ME AWAKE

Sitting up in the middle of the night
I hold my head in my hands
looking all around me
glimspes of a dream
Oh is seems so sweet now
but I need to be alone at night
Here I go around the sky
leaving tracks for wandering eyes

As time stops and my body rocks
and I don’t need to be anyone
There isn’t nothing to say
all the words they’ve washed away
and I said oh someone bite me awake

Everything coming off me now
It’s all falling away
And I am questioning every step of my day
Looking in your eyes
for another way
Oh it seems so sweet now
But I need to be alone at night
Here I go around the sky
leaving tracks for wandering eyes

As time stops and my body rocks
and I don’t need to be anyone
There isn’t nothing to say
all the words they’ve washed away
and I said oh someone bite me awake

And I think I’m dreaming

So I’m taking it moment by moment by moment
as you walk towards me
I’m trying to breathe
You show me so many things
in the folds of my wings
You show me so much of that loving

As time stops and my body rocks
and I don’t need to be anyone
There isn’t nothing to say
all the words they’ve washed away
and I said oh someone bite me awake

And I think I’m dreaming
Someone bite me awake

 

8. YOUR KISS

Where’d you get those  
chameleon eyes
with the talent to recognize
what I keep inside
Where’d you get your
waterfall of a mind
Throws me over the edge
of space and time
Two weeks you’ve been gone
and I’ve been reflecting upon
your kiss

We met in between two tones
Somewhere out of time
where the spirits roam
In the back alleyway of our minds
we took turns comparing the stories
of our lives
Where’d you get such a soft touch
Makes me melt
makes me blush

This feeling
is like a blazing sun
rising inside me

Heartache
so much space
to fantasize
I’ve filled my head up with lies
come and hold me
and take this doubt away

This feeling  
is like a blazing sun
rising inside me

Take this doubt away
and come and hold me
Take this doubt away
rising inside me

 

9. HELP THIS GIRL

Help this girl
she’s drying out
Hard as clay
pour water now
Pour breath on her cracking mind
go back to the wind inside

Help this girl know what she deserves
powerful beyond any word
Don’t run away from your beauty
you’re everything that’s ever happened

Don’t look back girl
there’s alot to live for
The clouds  
they come and they go
it’s just another passing

It’s just another passing
passing storm now

Come help this girl
she’s coming apart
It must have been that broken heart
Sitting on the floor   
she’s asking for
some sort of guidance
There’s a scream inside
this will move on by
There’s a scream inside
this will move on by
but it could get caught up inside

Don’t look back girl
there’s alot to live for
The clouds
they come and they go
its just another passing

It’s just another passing
passing storm now

Get your feet back on the ground
No more hanging upside down
Take your heart from the lost and found
Turn your love back around

It’s just another passing  
passing storm now
pass on by

 

10. WILLOW

Lonely
lonely  
willow
willow tree

There’s a low drone in the morning
underground I hear it forming
A low drone
here to guide me home
Roots reach down  
into the ground
and there’s a backbone that bends

Lonely
lonely  
willow
willow tree

And I will sway
branches touching the sky
Surrender in this solitude  
with my heart’s tender cry
Roots reach down
into the ground  
and there’s a backbone that bends

Lonely
lonely  
willow  
willow tree

And in my shade  
the birds will rest  
and sometimes one will build a nest
But seasons change and hearts take flight
and once again  
I’m standing in the stillness of the night
Roots reach down  
into the ground
and there’s a backbone that bends

Lonely  
lonely  
willow  
willow tree

And I will sway
through the shadows and light
And I will celebrate  
as my soul weeps tonight
Roots reach down  
into the ground  
and there’s a backbone that bends

Lonely
lonely
willow
willow tree
Lonely  
lonely
like a willow
willow tree

 

11. THE WAY

Sitting near the still water  
laughing in your arms
The sky is purple  
and the trees are turquoise
you kiss me in that way

The way to my heart
the path hidden underground
Somehow you found the way

I opened up the heavy gates
cause I could feel your intention
You pinned a mirror upon my chest  
and whispered  “I am your reflection”

In a peaceful daze
black tea gaze
we happily decode the maze
Reheating the water
sipping the soul
Rejoicing in a common goal

The way to the heart
the path hidden underground
Somehow you found the way

And out across the fields  
the owls sing in the dark
We listen to their echoes
as the fire crackles and sparks
You come up from behind
so gently in that way

The way to my heart
the path hidden underground
Somehow you found the way

Sitting near the still water
naked in your arms
Your sunshine touches
on my skin
Seeping in
warming my soul
reminding me  
I am whole
with nothing to say
but a sigh
I lie close to you ever entwined
Spirits speak with mouths so sweet
and eyes so crystal blue
“I love you”
Somehow you found the way

The way to my heart
the path hidden underground
Somehow you found the way
