Before Life Begins
Come find me in the dark, before life begins
Where I stand tall and unafraid
Where I dwell frustrated yet elated
The darkness where I was born into
The darkness that I was meant for
The darkness where I come from
And where I am to emerge from...
The darkness you're keeping inside...
Come find me in the birthplace of raw ideas
Where we will spend ages shapeless, hovering
Come find me in the dark
where Purpose is hidden somewhere..
Help me trace and uncover it!
Let's tread alongside each other.
Let's never lose each other.
Let's never get lost.
We only get lost
if we turn our back on the dark.
The dark will judge you only if you shun it...
Don't! Don't fear it!
The dark is not an evil place
The dark is mother of all
It is the womb that bears and gives birth
It's the first and last page.
Come find me in the dark, before life begins
Moments before dawn..
Where you will come to life with me...
Come to life with me!
We shall brew novel notions
and weave words never heard or uttered before
Come find me where stories begin with the ending
and every end is a beginning
Come find me in the dark
Where mystical secret meetings take place
Where drums and bugles come together
With the voices of men and women
You can hear them rehearsing
Preparing tirelessly for the big day!
When they will awaken us
with a sweet and fierce vociferous reveille.
Come find me in the wide uncertainty,
Join me in the terrifying anticipation
of that loud shocking bang...
Don't fret! It's only the starting gun!
And it will be shot,
and it will be glorious!
And we will get to live!
Come find me in the dark,
In honest obscurity, bear it with me
Better be kind in the dark
Than be cruel under the spotlight.
Don't confuse the light with the spotlight!
In the dark humbly, silently we mold the promises
into the future!
And in the dark we and we alone make the molds.
Come find me in the dark, before life begins
Where we watch closely
Where we hearken and listen
Where we sniff and taste and read
Where we think and feel
where we breathe in every single particle of beauty
and truth
where we fervently keep notes.
and wait.
Come wait with me!
Come find me in the dark where wonders well
Believe in my dream..
my dream of living!
Really living....not just breathing!
Hoist the dream and dream with me
The wind shall blow and we shall set sail
Come find me in the dark, before life begins
and I promise we will be delivered to the light!
In the dark, before life begins
we are all
individuals in the making. Come!
In the dark where I wait for you
our toils and works
will be miracles waiting to happen. Come!
