Immensity

I have seen the Ural Mountains and the Sahara desert
The dark nights of an Egyptian Queen
I have seen the Earth, and its storms
The oceans and their shipwrecks
I have witnessed crowds and the silence
The fire of joy and of suffering
I have seen roses beneath snow
And great white wolves caught in traps
I have watched the summer rain fall
And lovers linger on the platform
 
But, you know, what amazes me the most
Is the passion of our kisses
The desire and the throes
Like stars against your skin
The immensity of it all
 
I have seen angels and demons
Lowered eyes and sermons
I have seen the darkness and the light
Of a solitary female warrior
I have seen the seas and the rocks
Revelations and secrets
I have seen the vast America
And all the mirages in Africa
I have seen blue skies and glaciers
Come together and then tear apart
 
But you know, what amazes me the most
Is the passion of our kisses
The desire and the throes
Like stars against your skin
The immensity of it all
 
I have seen childhood and drunkenness
Life which smiles at us, sadness
The poverty of a foolish world
I have watched men fall
And rise again before my eyes
 
I have seen the cold and the trance
The laughter of our dancing son
I recognize his golden eyes
Oh, how he looks like you
I have seen lilies and orchids
Hidden in our secret garden
 
But, you know, what blows me away
Is the passion of your kisses
The desire and the throes
Like stars against my skin
The immensity of it all
Like the gentle touch of your kiss
The desire and the throes
Like stars against my skin
The immensity of it all.
