Story Behind The Song

Jon was sitting on the floor and came up with this cool riff in 7/8. I had been reading Rumi and studying Buddhism. Suddenly we had a song;) I like the progression of the search for the creator and the longing to become one through death(steal my breath

Song Description

Lyrics

Of the Center

verse 1



to the heavens looking up

fallen angel with a broken cup

on the edge one world seems small

then you come to take it all away



In the garden of a thousand rooms

of golden suns and transient moons

one thought one mind one tribe

one question for you



bridge

always waiting, waiting

and anticipating

where and when to let it go

always waiting, waiting

still anticipating

on and on and on and on



chorus

i can't see your face

seeking innocence and grace

so i sing only for myself

come steal my breath away



verse

clear bead of the center inside

silent water where the river is wide

little Buddah of a thousand smiles

I know you (don't I know you?)



bridge

always waiting, waiting

and anticipating

where and when to let it go

always waiting, waiting

still anticipating

on and on and on and on



chorus

let me see your face

bringing innocence and grace

so i sing only for myself

come steal my breath away



bridge

whirling wild inside

ego architects collide

give the answer to it all



chorus

i can see your face

bringing innocence and grace

so i sing only for myself

come steal my breath away
