We have arrived... to the street with no name where we have been ushered in like prisoners hypnotized by the pulse of excitement There is an almost reverent calm just before the storm I wait for the rhythm of my blood to paddle back to shore My eyes are wide, my soul in chains waiting for the reign ringed by the flood of fanfare but sitting on a wide desert plain Hands grasping a torch of white to light up the dark and arms waving wildly, while bright sparks sink freely, into a galaxy of stars Deep within the heart, we are one...neither stranger, neither star, ...we are one We will run, but we can't hide, ...they will tear down the walls we've built, until we have bled inside We have climbed the highest mountain, we have run through fields of bliss we have scaled the walls, and more, ...for this,... and have found what we've been looking for....
