Song Description

Sanity in the midst of insanity

Lyrics

When the empire is falling apart, and your power is slipping away
The ancient towers fall, they crumble to rubble and clay
You cannot hold fast to your love, your strength is ebbing away
Don't abandon your heart. Something you cannot name
Knows the way

You're trying to hear through the noise, the clamor of dust and decay
You cannot rely on your past.....History has nothing to say
You long for the hush of the forest, and sweet rushing rivers at play
Don't abandon your dreams. A lover who knows your name
Shows the way

Through the valley of the shadow
To the secret chambers of delight
You can taste the kiss of your companion
Whispering everything will be all right

The clearing is just up ahead, I can already feel the breeze
I follow the sound of singing, and a brightening through the trees
I wake up in an instant, and find it's all been a dream
The One who lives inside me, who will never abandon me
Knows the way

Through the valley of the shadow
To the secret chambers of delight
You can taste the kiss of your companion
Whispering everything will be all right

(You gotta tell a stronger story, sing a more beautiful song
You gotta be the proof that love will find a way
Show up like a warrior with forgiveness at your side
Let humor and compassion lead the way)


Sufi Chant:
"Ishq Allah Ma'bud Allah, Ya Fatah, Hu Allah"
(These Arabic phrases can be loosely translated as:
"God is Lover, Beloved, and the loving in between. Open to the breath of God")
