III. Universe

See me look unveiled when I walk out of the canyon And see me start to climb at the end of day But who's there to see me walk out? There's no beacon, no sun to block out No bird of blaze, close dark voice says "Do you really think there's anybody out there?" So what, no one sees me What do I care, now that the black night has seized me On a mountain's mane, I climb to my claim And I'm aimless, alone, and unraveling And above barren wastelands stare at me They know my name "What do you want?" Oh I know I'll be in the air But my trail passes lions' lairs And I see summits buried in more air Buried in space Safe, now there's no end in sight How many times have I learned this before? How many times have I made up this song before? How many times have I died up here before? And oh, how hidden tomorrow morning is What heavy fog, what wide shadows Universe, I know you
