Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I hadn't taken the time to assess and reassess
The growth and speculations
When documenting the journey it actually documented
And what that had to say
To those I love
And those dear to me
[Verse 2]
What it would actually mean to speak inwardly instead of outwardly
To manage my breath
Sitting in a garden
Overlooking a canyon
Giving thanks
[Verse 3]
An act of participation with my environment
Where I hear bird song and construction
The rustle of leaves on bamboo
The hum of electricity
And the constant thought of you
[Verse 4]
The brightest flower
The richest color
A full eclipse right beside me
And I am unafraid
[Verse 5]
Which would mean nothing if not for what fear had become
Written by: Saul Williams, Shabaka Hutchings
