You want to travel
You want to walk
You want to feel
and grasp the world
you want to stare at it
be one with it
with your own eyes
with your own body
with your soul
with me
I ask why
It has to be
me
Are you searching
for something
Or is it because
I'm free
Either way
I want to know
So we both
get an answer
from the unknown
I once read
Sir Laurens van der Post's
Story about 'Hunger'
He said:
"The Bushmen
in the Kalahari Desert
talk about two "hungers"
There is the Great Hunger
and there is the little hunger
The Little Hunger
wants food in the belly
The Greater Hunger
the greatest hunger of all
is the hunger for meaning"
And you said:
Maybe that's why
your feet wants to
dance and run
for meaning
Maybe that's why
my mouth wants
to taste and eat
for meaning
Maybe that's why
you feel that
your heart
has hole in it
You said that you
you long for me
you miss me
I stop from walking
I think about
what your feeling
Maybe that's
what we are
Occupants of Time
Traveller for meaning
Constantly searching
Never ending expedition
In greater lengths of life
We don't wait
for the morning light
we change ourselves
in the afternoon of our life
and in the evening
we'll realize everything
has its own meaning
I was thought
to never forget
where you came from
cause after all the running
and searching for everything
we'll all go back from
the beginning
where everything
means nothing
and nothing means
everything to life
Eventually what we have
will be take away from us
What we are will fade
and return to dust
After nothingness
is a life waiting to be lived
You said that life
without love has no meaning
and said your definition
of love is me
and the world is our
safest place
and beside me
is your favorite space
That's why you want to give
the world a dance it deserves
A dance with me
Music will come rushing
from our spine
our souls intertwine
our feet will take its path
our hearts will bring
happiness to the everything
You said that you need me
and you're pessimistic
you choose to
soak yourself
with pain
with sadness
not fighting back
But don't forget about
what I said to you
that I am here for you
You'll always
have my back
when life
pushes you down
sadness starts
to be pour
to the brim
give it to me
Let's drink it
together
You're the Yin
and I'm your Yang
and together
we'll not fall down
Life may bring you down
but I am here for you
Life may take you down
but I am here for you
Life may pull you down
but I am here for you
Don't forget I'm here
Don't forget I'm here
I'm here for you
Life may bring your down
Life may take you down
Life may pull you down
but I'm here for you
Life may break you down
but I am here for you
