there is something within you
there is something in everything that is
unbelievable beauty
flowing from deep inside
don't be shocked or surprised if i
lift your disguise
realize
that i can see it in all things all
but especially you


there is something we carry
like a rhythm that tells us who we are
it's the rhythm of living
hear it we'll come to see who we can really be for time
erases time
it's sublime
and i can hear it in all things all
but especially you

the time is upon us
to lose our indifference
for time isn't holding us anywhere
i declare
life is
savoir faire

we know windows of your inner star
and see things as they are
and infinity of light
like a torch in the night
in the sun and the moon and the stars
are living within you
they are shining in everything that is

here's what i see in your eyes right now
ten thousand lives over many years like leaves on the vine of this morning's glory
the determination of years coming to fruition
in the ever present now of your life
unfolding now in the flowering of days
the constellation of stars in the sky are like a fugue of life in velvet hands
the melody never ends
echoing again and again
nearer still sounds the melody leading through darkened rooms
playing like the sun on the water
like it's reflecting in your downcast eyes
when will you come to see you like i do
and know you like i do
and hear you like i do
and love you like i do

there is something within you
there is something ineverything that is
unbelievable beauty
there is something within you
there is something in everyhing that is
unbelievable beauty
there is something within you
there is something in everything that is

unbelievable beauty
flowing from deep inside
don't be shocked or surprised if i
lift your disguise
realize
that i can see it in all things all
but especially you
