lyrics

inspire the air
of my sister, my brother.
I expire
to inspire the other.

the other's just a word
don't let it twist ya
the truth is clear
when we rock and sit together

roll and flow
click into position.
lock.
reload, vision to fruition
chillin, spillin'
brimmin' with synergy
hidden mission in my heart
guiding my yet written destiny

I'm writing in red ink
and not just literally.
so one with my mind --
I don't need to think.

let my heart gush
flush my gravity
with a light through the blood drip --
lovely.

watch your concern.
cause this is more than love
light, dark, all of it below and above

metaphor
closest to capturing the way:
that I burn like the sun.

I don't need angels
girl, you're enough for me
to hear that one, universal melody.

subtle is my love
hidden are my marks
but my heart is wide and grand like Noah's ark

I take refuge
from the deluge of my being
love is what I'm seeing
Ali is what I'm feeling
impossible is nothing.

I get lost in the words
my words are all a world
pointing towards the Word
I get lost in the Word.

it was the Word
and it is the Word
the Word
The Word.
