I asked Him, "Why?
 There's so much i don't understand in this world,"
He pointed high
 "You were meant to fly
Beyond the clouds, beyond the sunshine,
 You are the Sky!"

I asked Her, "How?
 So much contradiction, all caught in illusion,"
She pointed to my soul,
 "Just open the windows, unlock all your doors.
Your truest Love is standing right there,
Just open the door!"

Brother, sister, i hear your words,
 (turning, turning...)
The Call is All and ever was,
 (gently waking...)
through deepest hells and highest heavens
 (closer than close...)
The penny drops and I see that all is One....

Oh, take me by the hands, sister!
 We are in the Promised Land, brother!
Oh, my friend,
 We are FREE!

Oh, take me by the hands, sister!
 We are in the Promised Land, brother!
Oh!  My friend,
 Don't you know that
  You and I...
       forever FREE!
