To soak in epic wonders   let them saturate my skin   to look out the window of a subway train   on my way to him   to tell myself a story   maybe no one else will hear   to let my sadness echo into music as I heal   into music as I heal      oh solitude you give me a moment   and I wrap it round my body here   I'm gonna let you fill my mind   'til I find a way to fight against fear   solitude you give me a moment   I can feel you make me stronger now   'til I get, 'til I get, 'til I get 'til I get there      to laugh at all small failures   to smile at all my cares   to cultivate my power   as I admire theirs   to dig up sources of my happiness   an archaeology of joy   to stretch out my limbs like a lazy cat   to play like a little boy      no one can take from me   these quiet mysteries   I dance to a love supreme   I plot my strategies   snow me the silence down   and wrap it round   preserve it and serve it as a reverent child
