Lyrics

Aradhana verse
Sacred smoke, fires awoke, from the dusk outside my dawn /
The elements broke to see the children choke on the musk outside the calm /

Calm lingering in my heart, cavities deep and dark, awaiting the light to penetrate /
The sleeping caves and the wisdom that bathes and the awakening of perfect meditation /

Water cool me down, leaves that have turned brown melt into the earth once again / The fog that lifts and sky father drips /
The subtle awareness of stars I have been /

The stars I have been, stars that I am, stars that I am, stars that you are…

Chorus
A: The beauty of the earth, the strength of her branches /
The sweet of her breeze, oh how she entrances /
The joy to breathe, to move with her rhythms /
To change as she changes, to breathe while you breathe, he-ey /
To breathe while you breathe, yea-ay /
To breathe while you breathe, oo-hoo… /

T: Breathe while I breathe, breathe while you breathe /
Breathe while I breathe while you breathe while we breathe /
Breathe while I breathe, breathe while you breathe /
Breathe while I breathe while you breathe while we breathe /

TruthI verse
I heard if you a shepherd, you don’t lie to the flock /
I began to grow antennas to use like eyes in the dark /
If you’re a leopard, stretch skies in your spots /
Check the temp, I only ride when it’s hot /

My only weapon, the mind and the thoughts /
Lines in the dark, time falls apart /
Always refining the art, we’re blind at the start /
But when the pupil is open, then the visions will appear /
The room illuminated by the glow of the lunar sphere /

In lower passage of the stratosphere /
Behold the shattered mirror, dark refraction, the image clear as seership /
I saw a voice but couldn’t hear it, the hidden spirit manifested in the lyrics /
The mic is like a gearshift, plugged into the heart of a man for transmission /
Red line repeatedly, my hands blistering /
Encourage you to move but dance listening /
Walking on the dunes, sand shifting /

Hard to make the transition, to stand without slipping /
Alone at nights sitting, is that the price of vision? /
So tired of frightened women /
It’s time to right this system that cuts like knife incisions /
Turns a life decision into a crisis /

Rhythms I choose the ripest /
Driven with smooth decisive strikes in weak ciphers /
I sleep with three vipers, one in each hand, one in the teeth hat greets Isis as we seek to breed light /

It’s like the realm of the enchanted released in the streets where peace is planted /
Leaves expanded, weaving hammocks with a spiderwoman’s standard /
Dreams are candid expositions of themes commanded /
In the night I’ve seen the damage /

Aradhana bridge
I have become my own creation /
Fed by the rays of the sun, and the wisdom in the ground /
I have found truly one is truly free /
There is no difference between you and me /
(Repeat)

No, there is no difference, no, whoa-oa /
Hey-ee-yay, oh whoa-oa, OH!

Breakdown
Breathe while I breathe, breathe while you breathe/
Breathe while I breathe while you breathe while we breathe /
Breathe while I breathe, breathe while you breathe /
Breathe while I breathe while you breathe while we breathe /
