The Curtains Will Rise

I forgot for a minute what it was like to live that life
I forgot for a minute what it was like to live this life

In the stillness, I can hear it
In the quietness, I can see it

Calling out to me

Come this way, my dear child
Come this way to the Land of Freedom

And then I arrive

And in the stillness, I can see it
And in the quietness, I can hear it

Calling out to me

Come back, dear child
Come this way to the Land of Freedom

And then I arrive

I look back to there while I’m standing here
And I look around here while I’m standing there

I see the Divide

As I open my eyes
It fades

The veil is lifted from the illusion I was gifted

No longer deflected by the illusion
A deceitful surprise, there’s less confusion

The valley between No Longer and Not Yet begins to close
The mountains merge

Ready or not, the curtains will rise
I can no longer hide

The pain is too great to continue to hide
Ready or not, the curtains will rise

So, I’ll take a bow
Even if yet, I don’t know how
