about

original by Jess Eliot Myhre

lyrics

I lived my whole life
Never knowing I was a bell
Until the moment I was lifted up and struck

We emerged as a moon in night
A kinesthetic blinding light
We melted each other down and then back up

I sing the body
(Put your back into it)
I resonate the body
(Put your mind into it)
Oo baby, won't you give me some
Of that rainbow light slipping off of your tongue
I wanna run, run, run
Stretch me tight like the skin of a drum

I celebrate a second birth
The morning that my ferns unfurled
For the first time, I could receive the sun
I penetrate and oscillate into the flow
Synthesize and recognize until I know
Humans are made of nothing but love

I sing the body
(Put your back into it)
I resonate the body
(Put your mind into it)
Oo baby, it ain't that hard
Get on your feet and raise up your arms
I want to lift your heart
If you don't move it can't be art

I sing the body
(Put your back into it)
I resonate the body
(Put your mind into it)
The Universe is wrapped in string
It can't do nothing but shake that thing
I wanna ring, ring, ring
Like a sweet, sweet bell on God's own wing

I sing the body
(Put your back into it)
I resonate the body
(Put your mind into it)
Oo baby I love you so
From the folds of your brain to the stretch of your toes
I wanna go, go, go
I want to love your soul

I sing the body
(Put your back into it)
I resonate the body
(Put your mind into it)
Oh love, we are soul embrace
In a moment of life time turned it's face
I wanna race, race, race
Jump off the world into the unknown Grace
