(vocal) Ana Calder - The Shape of Time

Names stitched inside my coat, I walk with them through weather

Some are feathers, some are stone, some stay warm forever

I walk on and I look behind, the road bends in my mind

Twenty-six years, a wooden door, still the years grow more.

This is the shape of time, a river without a line

A life becoming wider, a heart still learning fire I

hold what I can't keep, I wake what hides too deep

And all I know keeps changing in the shape of time.

I climbed one hill, then another, the sky rose up again

It called me from a higher place like an old and quiet friend.

I opened every locked room with borrowed light inside

And every answer grew another silent door inside the night.

This is the shape of time, a river without a line

The life becoming wider, the heart still learnng fire

I hold what I can't keep, I awake what hides too deep

And all I know keeps changing, in the shape of time.

I am no purer than the road that brought me here

Through dust and rain, I have carried mud and mercy

Some words are seeds, you don't understand them

Till the years grow roots and they become trees.

When I die, if heaven opens for me, I won't ask to stay

I see that kingdom in your eyes, I feel it in your hands each day

If I return with mourning soft and golden where you wake

May I be the quiet kindness you bring into someone's day.

This is the shape of time, a prayer without a shrine

A cloud that breaks to water, a child becoming older

I hold what I can't keep, I love what has to leave

And all I know keeps changing, in the shape of time.

Let me be born this time, let me be born as a priest

Let me be born as love, let me be born as love

Let me be rain upon the ground, let me be light without a sound

Let me be love, let me be love, let me be love...
