Miserere

Miserere testo

Do you ever look around?

Turn your ear to the ground, show your face to the sky

On a night when the skies echo sounds?

From inside of your mind

On a stage that you shone where the sun did become you and

Move with your thoughts through the signs and the scenes

Of the worlds you have seen and the sights that have been

Your reflection in shadows and dreams

Your reflection in shadows and dreams

Did you ever see a man,

Who did walk down the street, white robe with no shoes on his feet,

And on top of his head placed a box with two slits,

And a sign from his neck said ?I do not exist?

Or a woman who could not remember her name,

Did stutter and stutter again and again,

And saw you and called you her son,

Her eyes said

?My being is gone, but still I’m not dead?

Oh miserere, miserere, miserere, miserere, miserere

Have you ever seen a sound?

Have you listened to an image?

Have you ever touched a thought?

Have you ever tasted nothing?

Have you ever told a lie that was true more than truth?

Because truth it had lied all its life

When it spoke to you and

What did it say, it is that, it is this, this goes here, here is there,

It is not, yes it is

It was dying, your senses, your eyes, they were numb

And forever my friends, been looking around

And the other replies with a wave of a hand,

I am already here in this promised land,

But not by a god,

And not by a king,

And not by a spirit, deep from within

I am here, because miracles are win, it’s a flash of glory it’s an empty tin,

Now maybe, might let you in, not to save you but to keep on looking and

Oh miserere, miserere, miserere, miserere, miserere

Miserere, miserere

Oh miserere, miserere

Have you ever been so happy that you’re sad,

That the lights turn to stars,

And the stars become eyes,

And hellos are goodbyes,

And the laughs are the sighs,

And the show disappears with a note

Until next time

Long live living, if living can be this

Long live living, if living can be this

Long live living, if living can be this

Long live living, if living can be this

Do you ever look around?

Turn your ear to the ground?

Show your face to the sky on a night when the skies echo sounds?

From inside of your mind,

On the stage that you shone when the sun did become you and

Move with your thoughts through the signs and the scenes

Of the worlds you have seen and the sights that have been

Your reflection in shadows and dreams

Do you ever look around and find what is yet to be found?
