Lightning struck when I first saw your face
I was shocked how much I wanted your embrace
I camouflaged myself from view
Till I was sure my heart was true
But by the time I showed myself you'd disappeared
I wandered like a drunkard in a daze
You were hidden like a treasure in a maze
When I knocked upon your door
A voice said, "She ain't here no more"
And as I left my eyes welled up with tears
Blackness came and blotted out the sun
I'd lost a love that never had begun
Hopes filled my head
Now they were dead
I was lost
And afraid
I hid myself within my pyramid
Wondering where you were and what you did
I saw you once but you were cool
You were with a man, I played the fool
Why couldn't you see how I wanted you?
My love burned hot, it purified my soul
But my passion for you left a painful hole
I prayed that God would send
A woman like an inner gem
Cut like you, mysterious and true
But just when it had all grown dark as night
Within my heart there came a blazing light
A storm shook the sky
When the clouds had passed by
I found you
Standing there
We both had changed and now you'd come to me
When you heard I planned to leave you had to know
Was there a chance our love was meant to be?
I said, "Tell me your dreams before I go."
At once you told me your true heart's intent
You said, "I mean to be an instrument"
The spirit whispers in our ear
Tunes that only we can hear
Let's you and I together make a song
We danced beneath a sea of fireflies
Like stars that have flown down and come alive
Making love to nature's band
In the clearing where the tall trees
stand
With the silver moon above us all night long
Sailing on the waters of love
We guide ourselves by the stars above
Through the changing tide
By each other's side
We'll cross the sea
In this life
