Lyrics

Layers

Layers on layers
Piled up on new
Layers on layers
How can I get to you
I’m searching I’m digging
I’m praying and I’m singing
When will I, when will I, when will I find you

I see a hidden identity
I hear a cry unheard
I feel the joy of laughter
Cut down by a voice and a stare

It’s a long journey
with hidden treasures along the way
a tall cliff, a deep cavern
I won’t let them get in my way
I’m standing alone
On the earth nothing I own
Close to sky the stars the sounds
I’m near the heart of underground
And there’s

Layers on layers
Piled up on new
Layers on layers
How can I get to you
I’m searching I’m digging
I’m praying and I’m singing
When will I, when will I find you

I fear of being lost
But hear an inner voice
That sees and accepts myself
Releasing a controlling force

Layers on layers
Piled up on new
Layers on layers
How can I get to you
I’m searching I’m digging
I’m praying and I’m singing
When will I, when will I find you
