Elevation
James Toney Jr. Project Lyrics

There was a time
Reflecting on a past moment

in which i have
In that moment, I

Forgetted all
Forgot everything

about myself
regarding my own identity

but now your presence
but now that you are here

makes me remind something ancient
I recall something ancient

I used to lay
I used to rest

Under the trees
amongst the trees

Hiding behind
concealed by

Their biggest leaves
their largest leaves

but now there's your hand
but now you are reaching out

that picks me up from this
to lift me from this situation

Walkin' on the mist
Moving through fog

I sense reborn alchemies
I feel a new transformation happening

And I want communicate
And I want to express

The elevation of my love
The growth of my love

Quietly walkin on the mist
Silently moving through the fog

I can feel your scent from here
I can detect your fragrance nearby

Now I can communicate
Now I can convey

Another day
A new day

Inside my room
Within my room

With curtains shot
With the curtains closed

black body in
a dark figure inside

But now a new light
But now there is a new source of light

Has come to show me the right path
Has arrived to guide me in the correct direction

Stranded I try
Lost, I attempt

To find a way
To discover a route

Searchin' myself
Looking within myself

I want to escape
I desire to break free

But now a mirror
But a mirror now

Reflects a new shape in
Shows a different image in

Rev dream
Revived dream

Before the light (outside winds stop to howl)
Before dawn with calm surroundings

Right when the moon shines bright (with a soft sound)
As the moon gleams softly

Smokey souls arise (evanescent forms and clouds)
Ghostly entities manifest

And seems to be yours that face
And it appears to be your visage

among the cold mist
amidst the chilly mist

Floatin' around (vortex, spiral of dust)
Drifting about in a swirl of dust

Dancin' in shapeless lines (spinning fastly)
Moving rapidly in formless patterns

But i recognize (come forth from the blue dusk)
Yet I acknowledge emerging from the twilight

Something i know it's
I sense that it is

you near to me
you close to me

but now this dream
but now this vision

seems not so near
does not feel as close

it's lost
it has disappeared

lost from dawn to dark
missing from sunrise to sunset

lost with mighty sun
vanished with the powerful sun

All becomes a curse, but soon
Everything turns to a curse, but not for long

Nightfall will come (gently closing light doors)
Nighttime will approach softly closing daylight

Wrappin' me with her warm
Enveloping me with its warmth

memories of your smile
memories of the way you smiled

There's no time at all when
It feels like no time has passed when

I flow in revolving dream
I drift in a recurring dream

There's no time no time at all
It feels like no time has passed at all
