A sun going down I'd like to capture
In painting or song the motion and mood
A sky I would steal if it could be held fast
The wind dies away it's perfectly still

You can't exceed that kind of sundown
Harmony's beautiful heartbeat of earth
It's so smooth and still it's so restless
Concentration beginning and end

Rising! Breathing! Gleaming! Heart!
Rising! Breathing! Gleaming! Heart!

The moon rising high, light in the darkness
Creating a gleam you can't really grasp
Somehow unreal both tempting and scaring
Indistinct phase, vague and reserved

You can't eclipse that kind of moonrise
Mellow magical heartbeat of earth
It's so slow and still it's so restless
Steadily taking it's course

Rising! Breathing! Gleaming! Heart!
Rising! Breathing! Gleaming! Heart!
Rising! Breathing! Gleaming! Heart!
Rising! Breathing! Gleaming! Heart!
Sound of a heartbeat
Stable and certain: Life!
Breath of a new day
Welcomed in wonder

Rising! Breathing! Gleaming! Heart!
Rising! Breathing! Gleaming! Heart!
Rising! Breathing! Gleaming! Heart!
Rising! Breathing! Gleaming! Heart!
