Transcript

You are clutching with both hands to this myth of you and I.

Your whole brokenness is because of this.

This myth of you and I.

I journeyed to every realm.

Running here,

Running there.

But I've never seen a realm like the realm of love.

A love that spills over.

At the beginning,

I didn't cherish this love.

Not knowing led me to an exile of suffering.

I let go of this sweet realm,

Became like an animal.

Grazing here,

Grazing there.

Loveless.

Every sound I heard was wild.

No matter where in the world I was,

A soft voice whispered to me from the realm of love.

Dare so,

Keep on your journey,

It is me who created this abode of suffering.

I said,

I don't want to go into the suffering.

I wailed,

The voice said,

Go my love,

Anywhere you like.

I am closer to you than the beating of your own heart.

Go my love,

Anywhere you like.

I am closer to you than the beating of your own heart.

I am closer to you than the beating of your own heart.
