lyrics
She walks in
And the rooms skips a beat
The way her hips shake, it's poetry in her wake
You don't have to be her lover to know that she's got secret power
She's a painting
In motion
A vessel of emotion
A tranquil explosion
Of righteousness and devotion
Her sacrilege is beautiful
Could only come from God
Her body let's you know
That there's still good in this world
The way she moves is an art form
That enraptures this entire space
Her eyes are an animal's
Reminding us that we all come from the same place
Ah...
When I think back to the day
She taught me to pray
Without words
She spoke this one line and opened my mind
My face is the same, but inside I changed
"Insight to this delusion and a fight against illusions, that is love"
But no matter how many times I try
The hurt still finds a place and a time
So she forgave me
And I sing
Ah...(She forgave me)
Her ferocious tenderness
Will lash out at ignorance
And in it's wake:
A thousand burning colors of faith
She'll beat down your religion
Therein renew your vision
Build you an endless shrine
Remind you that you are divine
Insight to this delusion and a fight against illusions, that is her love
To change the world I must first change mine
To change the world I must first change mine
It's in my expanding heart that it all starts
It's in my expanding heart that it all starts
It's in my expanding heart that it all starts
It's in my expanding heart that it all starts
And the rooms skips a beat
The way her hips shake, it's poetry in her wake
You don't have to be her lover to know that she's got secret power
She's a painting
In motion
A vessel of emotion
A tranquil explosion
Of righteousness and devotion
Her sacrilege is beautiful
Could only come from God
Her body let's you know
That there's still good in this world
The way she moves is an art form
That enraptures this entire space
Her eyes are an animal's
Reminding us that we all come from the same place
Ah...
When I think back to the day
She taught me to pray
Without words
She spoke this one line and opened my mind
My face is the same, but inside I changed
"Insight to this delusion and a fight against illusions, that is love"
But no matter how many times I try
The hurt still finds a place and a time
So she forgave me
And I sing
Ah...(She forgave me)
Her ferocious tenderness
Will lash out at ignorance
And in it's wake:
A thousand burning colors of faith
She'll beat down your religion
Therein renew your vision
Build you an endless shrine
Remind you that you are divine
Insight to this delusion and a fight against illusions, that is her love
To change the world I must first change mine
To change the world I must first change mine
It's in my expanding heart that it all starts
It's in my expanding heart that it all starts
It's in my expanding heart that it all starts
It's in my expanding heart that it all starts
