lyrics

Lyricist : Mingjia Chen

Soft awakening
I land where we all once began
when land first held the snow

Years of gathering
Stories and stardust, I have watched as
seasons come and go

(*)
Each star an opening in the patchwork
offering glimpses to a future old and new
Spinning, dancing, opening, unfurling
reaching toward that sky

Half-light blossoming
illuminating every face that I have held,
still hold, this I know
so long ago

(*)

Half-light blossoming
luminating every face I’ve yet to hold,
I love, even so,
since long ago, I know
