[Intro]
[Verse]
One clear still night in deep July
Bob lay outstretched on fulsome lawn
To stare upon the looming sky
And pray for once a postponed dawn
[Verse]
No creature stirred nor breeze awoke
The lofty boughs that framed his stage
In empty mind just one voice spoke
‘Heavens grant me one un-writ page’
[Chorus]
The sub-atomic life he shared
With stars and matter of the void
By which in wonder to be paired
To free the bonds of humanoid
[Break]
[Verse]
Bob stared stone-still at endless night
As time slowed down all sense of place
The canopy moved close in sight
Caressed the contours of his face
[Verse]
His shape dissolved in soft repose
All particles now time-changed space
His consciousness in white light froze
His only guide to formless place
[Chorus]
The sub-atomic life he shared
With stars and matter of the void
By which in wonder to be paired
To free the bonds of humanoid
[Break]
[Verse]
No effort spent to think or feel
He charged the senses’ swift report
But futile doubts no bells did peel
Nor leave-arrive at every port
[Verse]
Bob knew now what he always felt
Conscience is its own dimension
Bob lived now where he often dwelt
In his own space-time suspension
[Chorus]
The sub-atomic life he shared
With stars and matter of the void
By which in wonder to be paired
To free the bonds of humanoid
[Chorus]
The sub-atomic life he shared
With stars and matter of the void
By which in wonder to be paired
To free the bonds of humanoid
[Chorus]
The sub-atomic life he shared
With stars and matter of the void
By which in wonder to be paired
To free the bonds of humanoid
[Outro]
