Intro:
VERSE 1:
Golden ratio the shell,
The stairs ascending round themselves The
trees rustle as if to kneel and listen to the
heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat
The oxygen in priestly green,
The answers dressed in labyrinthine The
telescopes atop the mountains of ecstatic vision listening to the
heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat
BRIDGE:
Hey...............
Hey........... Hey...............
CHORUS:
I am assured, yes I am assured yes
I am assured peace will come to me
A peace that can, yes surpass the speed yes
Of my understanding and my need
VERSE 2 (Chords as verse 1):
The meteoric warp and wend
In counterbalance to the sparks ever ascending
The arrow time shoots forward though it moves through repetition
To the heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat
What is it drives the driven snow?
Upon whose temples will I rest my weary hopes now?
The rain distills down steeples fills the ears of lonely church mice with the
Heartbeat of a lark or the lark in my heartbeat
