The cause of the world
Moon, carving silent shadows
a distant sound and the noise of the world
in the hour that reveals the mute voice of things
and seems catching their deepest meaning
You may be asking what is
the cause of the world
And every word is left hanging
like a cloud carried by the wind
and becomes island, chant, rain, and wait
the turning of a lighthouse, lights on, lights off
You may be asking what is
the cause of the world
It's like if I were
born only now
and alive only now
and as if you were
here from the beginning
High in the sky, a city of a thousand illuminated houses
are cars and lights those who go far
and I can see in your hands some secret figures
in your eyes are mirrors, in which I am looking at myself and you may be asking what is
the cause of the world
See, see, the dark is only a brief renunciation of the sun
and blindly
you believe, you believe time will take care of all pain
It's like if I were
born only now
and alive only now
and as if you were
here from the beginning
here from the beginning
It's like if I were
born only now
and alive only now
and as if you were
here from the beginning
here from the beginning
with me
