Maliyan

A butterfly drunkenly With no clear trajectory Finds me asking as it flutters past Just how long does this mad flapping last Now I sit here subdued On this bluff with gaping views Finds me asking as you're soaring past Just how long does all the sadness last Maliyan so true Find me flying there so close to you Maliyan so free Why is it that you've come to me Maliyan you soar Both outside of things and at their core Hear me - ride these winds of truth That carry me and those I love Towards your song This bigibila loyally And forty seasons less than me Finds him asking as we climb to cloud Just how much in life is not allowed As we sit here subdued At the heart of all that's viewed Finds us asking as you're soaring through What now is the honest work to do Maliyan so true Find us flying there so close to you Maliyan so free Just what is it that we've come to see Maliyan you soar From this mountaintop to the ocean shore Hear us - ride these rolling gusts That carry us and those we love Towards our song Smoking plains down below Tell the eagle in the know When you feel that you're the special one There is danger flying near that sun Singed in flight and near the end But carried by my spikey friend Waddle to this place to repair the wings And we brag of doing other things Maliyan so true Find a state where I can be like you Maliyan so wise With minds open like the clear blue skies Maliyan you soar From a world always demanding more Teach me how to fly with grace And see the face of what we love Our whole life through: This view My life stares back at me And it has passed so fleetingly So I ask you as it flutters past Just how long will all its magic last
