Can It Be?

World, turn in silence
Who could stop your dance?
That music we sense
Is it sustenance?

You know it's with respect,
I would never presume
Mother, why did reason open your womb?
Inside stirring I feel bride seeking groom

All this has some meaning -- sublime purpose --
is that not so?

Can it be, are we?
Time, what tricks you play!
Eyes, true vision see
False sights disobey!

You know it's with respect,
I would never presume
Mother, why did reason open your womb?
Inside stirring I feel bride seeking groom

All this has some meaning -- sublime purpose --
is that not so?

World, turn into me
I must learn your dance
I wait here freely
All I need's a glance

You know it's with respect
I would never presume
Mother, why did reason open your womb?
Inside stirring I feel bride seeking groom

All this has some meaning -- sublime purpose --
is that not so?
