'Till I Get There Lyrics

To soak in epic wonders
let them saturate my skin
to look out the window of a subway train
on my way to him
to tell myself a story
maybe no one else will hear
to let my sadness echo into music as I heal
into music as I heal

oh solitude you give me a moment
and I wrap it round my body here
I'm gonna let you fill my mind
'til I find a way to fight against fear
solitude you give me a moment
I can feel you make me stronger now
'til I get, 'til I get, 'til I get 'til I get there

to laugh at all small failures
to smile at all my cares
to cultivate my power
as I admire theirs
to dig up sources of my happiness
an archaeology of joy
to stretch out my limbs like a lazy cat
to play like a little boy

no one can take from me
these quiet mysteries
I dance to a love supreme
I plot my strategies
snow me the silence down
and wrap it round
preserve it and serve it as a reverent child
