Transcend
Ovall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I still feel your presence
Linger and I'm alright, yeah
Ain't nothing wrong
With solitude or silence
Soothin', feel at peace, yeah
Ever, ever see the starlight
Staying at home, play my favorite song
And listen until dawn, yeah
I'll watch the lights
People walking past, from where I sit tonight
Never have I been out of time and space before
Sunset slipping to the sunrise
Summer fading slowly to rise
Waters taking over shorelines
Watchin', waitin', wonder
Roll out of bed and make my way
To find some purpose through the day, yeah
Some days I like to let this light and look to
Find my peace of mind
Never have I been one with myself
Through and through
Rollin' hills run, never ending
Brushin' winds and flowers falling
Pleasure is doin' this, feelin' calling
My my, my my, my my
Ah!
Make it all the way, feeling's soothin'
Time has passed me by so quickly
Moments, take this, I'll transcend it
My my, my my, my my, my my
Ah!
