Lyrics
Always was a little different
Always had a shimmer mind
Blurring in and out of focus
Seeing blind
As a child I kept it hidden
'Til the fear of loss broke free
What I could be, what I wasn’t
Without me
In the ocean of emotion
That continually swells
Deep within I am a tempest
Can you tell?
Can you see that I am desperate
Not to let it drag me down
When the waves roll in and make the
Only sound
I can feel
(I can feel it all)
I can feel it all
Always had a great capacity
To love with all my heart
But as much as I am light I’m
Just as dark
For an ocean has no conscience
All it knows is depth and flow
Ever pulsing through the chasms
Far below
I can feel
(I can feel it all)
I can feel it all
I’m no longer bound by elements
I soar through naked space
Making fire underwater
Twisting fate
I know everything you’re thinking
I’m the sum of life and death
All the power of potential
In a breath
I am cosmic and Omega
A White Phoenix of the Crown
I can feel you all below me
On the ground
I am darkness and the blazing
I’m the swallower of stars
There is no defense against the
Force that chars
I can feel
(I can feel it all)
I can feel it all
We are one and we are many
We are joined and stand apart
There is something of me left to
Make a mark
There is only one to stand against
The power that I wield
I’m the only one with strength enough
To yield
I can feel
(I can feel it all)
I can feel it all
