lyrics

You’re feeling more focused now
Your body feels lighter.
Your troubles are drifting away now,
Lifting into the breeze
Each one of them turns into a granule of sand
Different colors fill the air
When you were a child
Your father took you to the carnival
You sat at a table with a glass bottle
And filled it full of sand
You were told to take it slowly
Your mind is starting to wander,
But you're coming back
You decide to start with the red sand
The first layer lays inside the bottle
It’s time to choose a different color.
Red, blue, green, yellow, pink
There is white, even black
What do you think ?
So you reach for now the blue
And add another layer
The layers aren’t so even
But they form a perfect gradient
In a way it reminds you of a mountain that you have yet to climb,
but see in your mind
Every single layer
Every little stripe of sand
represents time
How many eons have you witnessed?
The silent land has witnessed them all
Only one more layer to go now and it’s time to cap the bottle
You hold it in your hand and return to the carnival
All of a sudden it seems you like you’re in some sort of
Black and white dream
the only color that remains is your bottle of sand
Imagine the scene unfolding, all these white little lights
You hop on your favorite ride
You decide
Now you're on the top of the ferris wheel
You open the cap of the bottle
You turn it ever so softly
~
There is no more gravity now
Each little granule of sand
Is now floating through the air
You are your father's smile
Watch it all go by
You can even see the moon from here
as it reflects on the black sea
all the colors of sand are floating before you
Finally you are free
Dissociating into matter
each granule of sand is one of your troubles
But some of them are also your joys
You are dissociating into matter
Now you take one deep breath (inhale)
And as you exhale
the only things that remain
(whisper) Are the things that make you smile.
Now you have a little more room in the bottle
A little more space.
As you hop off the ferris wheel
the carnival is colored again
The black and white dream has turned back into reality
You hold the bottle of sand in your hand.
You keep walking now, and one day you grow up
you go and find that mountain
Made of all the rainbow sand
over eons of time
Each layer filled the mountain in a gradient
All the layers of all the earth's troubles
Of all your troubles
Have landed here
And now you've climbed here
Running out of breath
You stare at the mountain from a nearby hill
You breath deeply because you've seen the place where all your troubles have landed is still
~
All your troubles are still
With every inhale and exhale
You are reforming
You are the calm breeze
Blowing away like sand mandalas in the wind
Forever On the ride
