Hear the Bells

Hear the Bells
We call this a bamboo slit drum...
Time is of the essence, my heart drunk to your presence
Every thought, fear and temptation'll make up my confession
And I'm searching for a way
To temper all this burning inside
Never who I was, never what I wanna be
But I am looking in your eyes and I'm shaken by what I see
It's a never ending world of possibility, and I know

You got me frozen, looking out the window
Waiting for the morning light
Like a flower burning in the desert
Fighting against my pride
Ringing and ringing and ringing and ringing in my head
Closer and closer and louder and louder and louder
Initiation day, packed up and on my way
Can you hear the bells?
There's a lot at stake and I'm not feeling brave
'Cause I can hear the bells
(Vocalising)
Feeling the vibrations of every decision
And I'm hoping that you'll break this invisible division
But it's never who I was, not what I wanna be
But I am
Initiation comes with these complications
I'm confused about the number of changes that it's bringing
And I tremble at the thought, the possibility of unknown
You got me frozen, looking out the window
Waiting for the morning light
Like a flower burning in the desert
Fighting against my pride
Ringing and ringing and ringing and ringing in my head
Closer and closer and louder and louder and louder now

Initiation day, packed up and on my way
Can you hear the bells?
There's a lot at stake and I'm not feeling brave
'Cause I can hear the bells
(Vocalising)
