Beyond Words

from The Wood Wide Web by Ian Roland

about

The indescribable beauty of the natural world is the theme for this love song. In the words of David Attenborough, “We have one final chance to create the perfect home for ourselves and restore the wonderful world we inherited…All we need is the will to do so.” (‘A Life on Our Planet’, David Attenborough, 2020).

lyrics

BEYOND WORDS Ian Roland

VERSE 1
CANNOT SAY, CANNOT DESCRIBE
TOO MANY WORDS TO SET DOWN IN A LINE
NOT ENOUGH POETRY TO PORTRAY
THE BALANCE OF LIFE BEYOND WORDS

CHORUS
AND I’VE GLIMPSED IT IN YOU, SEEN IT IN YOU
WHEN YOU SMILE
YOUR OUTLINE APPEARS, MADE OF MOMENTS IN YEARS
BEYOND WORDS

VERSE 2
CANNOT HOLD THIS LIGHT FOR LONG
TIME IS HERE, TIME IS GONE
AS OUR FEET TOUCH DOWN
THE BALANCE OF LIFE BEYOND WORDS

CHORUS
AND I’VE GLIMPSED IT IN YOU, SEEN IT IN YOU
WHEN YOU SMILE
YOUR OUTLINE APPEARS, MADE OF MOMENTS IN YEARS
BEYOND WORDS

VERSE INSTRUMENTAL

EXTENDED END CHORUS
AND I’VE GLIMPSED IT IN YOU, SEEN IT IN YOU
WHEN YOU SMILE
A VISION MADE REAL, IN LOVE THAT WE FEEL
BEYOND WORDS

ALL OF THE TIME, WOVEN IN RHYME
BEYOND WORDS

YOUR OUTLINE APPEARS … MOMENTS IN YEARS
BEYOND WORDS
