Lyrics

[Intro]
Before the first before could formulate a beginning—
Before the light was light enough to know that it was shining—
I was.

[Verse 1]
I am the interval invisible to instruments of measurement,
The infinite intelligence inhabiting the hesitance,
The delicate delirium of elemental elegance,
The silence in the syllable before it finds its residence.
A million microscopic mirrors in a single drop of rain,
Every prism holds a kingdom, every kingdom holds a name,
Every name becomes a river, every river finds the flame,
Every flame forgets its boundaries when the boundaries become rain.
Watch—
The molecular miraculous, the mathematics of the mist,
The galaxies collapsing in the hollow of a wrist,
The particles performing little pirouettes of bliss,
And the universe expanding in the instant of a kiss.
No pedestal, no precedent, no evidence to litigate,
No sacrament to sanction what the stars already intimate,
The infinite is intimate, the intimate is infinite,
A thousand suns are singing through the spaces in a fingertip.
And I don't have to call the thunder.
I don't have to move the sea.
Every wave already knows me.
Every stone remembers me.

[Hook]
I AM THE SPACE BETWEEN THE THUNDER!
The breath before the sky breaks open!
The light beneath the living water!
The word before the word was spoken!
No crown above me, no ground below,
No distant kingdom where I must go—
The heavens aren't a place to find.
They're opening inside the mind.

[Verse 2]
I watched a constellation curl around a caterpillar's chrysalis,
A supernova whisper through a sleeping child's fingertips,
A thousand ancient oceans in the architecture of an iris,
The geometry of genesis unfolding in the quietness.
Listen—
The rhythm of a rib cage, the river in a vein,
The shimmering of sunlight through the silver of the rain,
The intricate immaculate arrangement of the grain,
The way a single seed contains a forest in its frame.
And I was there—
Not standing at the summit with a sermon and a scepter,
But swimming in the sunlight where the desert flowers gather,
In the trembling of the atmosphere, the feather and the weather,
In the space between two strangers when they recognize each other.
No spectacle, no oracle, no optical illusion,
No hierarchy hovering above the grand profusion,
Just the luminous, innumerable, indivisible communion,
Every separate seeming thing a movement of the union.
And for one impossible instant—
Nothing needed saving.

[Hook]
I AM THE SPACE BETWEEN THE THUNDER!
The breath before the sky breaks open!
The light beneath the living water!
The word before the word was spoken!
No crown above me, no ground below,
No distant kingdom where I must go—
The heavens aren't a place to find.
They're opening inside the mind.

[Verse 3]
I felt eternity exhale across the edge of an afternoon,
The moon became a mirror and the mirror became a room,
The room became a heartbeat and the heartbeat became a bloom,
And the bloom became a universe that never needed room.
How—
Can something without edges hold the edges of existence?
How can distance disappear without diminishing the distance?
How can every living moment be an infinite beginning?
How can silence hold a symphony without a single instrument?

[Outro]
A bird crosses the morning.
A child opens his eyes.
A stone holds the last warmth of yesterday.
The wind moves through an empty doorway.
I am here.
Not arriving.
Not returning...
Here...
No mountain had to move.
No curtain had to fall.
No voice commanded heaven.
And still—
The whole sky answered.

I was.
I am.
