COSMOS the OPERA

do you see     look    i sing   we come   the colors   the waves    i the sun   my twin


Act I - We Come


do you see


what do you see
when you close your eyes

some don't see they sleep

what i see is the light

an infinite number of stars
swirling around in a cloud

some see the dark
i see the light

some say it is the snow
captured by the vacuum
that they see

the echo of all
from the start

what do you see
when you close your eyes

do you see the dark

i see the light
and the stars
i see the universe



look

look as far as you can see

this life is a journey
both endless and so brief
both finite and with infinity

you can only see
as far as your eye
can perceive

you can only hear
the waves that
reach the ear

you can only feel
as much as your
heart can bleed

for a time

i have found the
greatest way to see
is in the eye of my mind

it can see through all
space and time through
this journey that is mine

i hope you find your eye
you can only look
as far as you can see



i sing

i sing to your soul
we want to be free
we want to see beauty
we want to feel peace
we want to be in love
we want to be

we want to be free
free to love

free to see
free to feel

we want to be
and we will

be

we only want to see
beauty

all that there is
all around us

we want to feel
the peace
all around us

it is time now
for a new world

a new world
of love

and only
love
there is only

one

that gives you
enough love

we want to be
all that we can be
in every way
we can see
we are
free



we come

we come into being
we are beautiful
we are lovely
we are infinite

we touch
we feel
we share

we take you there

our peace
will fill you

and find
you whole


Act II - Into

the colors


see the colors
of the light

in so many ways
in so many
shades

bending in
so many
waves

see the light
it is like
looking in

the windows of a prism
in the middle
of your mind

so high in the sky
somewhere between
space and time

see the light
in your eye

the light of your life

the colors of the light
which shade
will it glow

the colors of the light
which way
will it go

see the colors all around
the colors in so many ways
just to gaze

to see you in the colors
the colors so

beautiful

the colors so alive
the colors of your

love

the colors all around
in so many ways
just to gaze

to see you in the colors
the colors so beautiful

the colors so alive
the colors of your

love

to see you in the colors
the colors so

beautiful

the colors so alive
the colors of your

love

see the light
how it shines

how it bends
how it reflects

in so many shapes
and colors

everything you do
i am looking at you

i can see the colors
of you



the waves

you can feel the waves
in everything

you can feel it
all that is in you

all that is you

you can
you can
you can

you can feel it

feel all of it
feel everything

feel it all around you
feel it inside you

feel it through you

the waves through it all
the waves in it all

the waves in everything
the waves of the creation

the waves of the creator
the waves that are you
the waves that are about you

in you the waves
in you everything

in all the waves
in all of everything
everything

is one

everything is a wave
all is the same
we are all

the same


Act III - Beings

i the sun


did you say
that i could

be the sun
to you

so warm and
so bright

one truth
in your life

and then yet
so far from

you

how could i be
the sun to you

when you are
the sun to
me

so warm and
so infinite and
so bright

my reason to
be
in this life

you are the
sun
to me as well

my universe
and my infinity

how long will
it be
before we meet

if we could only

see the sun
as one

with me next
to you

but we can
only see

as two

i am so far
from you



my twin

when i am near you
i feel that way again

like i found my best friend
like i am holding myself
like i am holding my twin
just the touch of you

you move me in so many ways

how would it be if we were
to gaze together

as we orbit in our galaxy
and throb to the waves
for a time

or for an eternity

are you my twin
burning together
in some galaxy

in some other time

were we once
two bright suns
roaming the galaxy
together orbiting
each other

as we moved through space
only to be trapped
on this planet
for this short
time

feeling again

you make me feel
that feeling again
like i am holding
my best friend

and like you
could be here
to the end

you make me feel
like it can be real

if i could only
hold you night and day
and through space and time

as we travel to
some other place

if i could be there
with you now

to feel you
to hold you
to love you

i would make
the world go away

i would make the rain
stay in the sky

i would turn the dark
days to light

i would be there
for you

and show you
what love can do
