Longing

(album: Chameleon - 1993)

[Words and Music by Michael Kiske]

Feelings come and go I've never known,
Something longs to grow won't let go.
Spirits around my head are whispering,
I turn inside instead of wondering.
Deep inside of me I know there's got to be,
A different kind of truth that sets the spirit free.
If I don't wanna know what's written inside me,
How could I see anything how could I be anything?
Restless minds have searched long before,
The truth will be same for evermore.
The mightiness of trees that you can feel,
Can give you all you need just listen still.
Here is love and there is pain.
It's all around, it's all the same,
There's nothing new that I could tell to you.
But still there is the universe inside of us that never bursts,
We might not know the mining yet, but I am sure we can't reject
The truth that is in everything that is and has been and will be.
There is a long way to go there is a high place to know,
There is a world to go through but there's so much more to do
Until we're home!
Deep inside of me I know there's got to be,
A different kind of truth that sets the spirit free.
If I don't wanna know what's written inside me,
How could I see anything how could I be anything?
Feelings come and go I've never known...
