Long Time Coming - Whitaker

Way out here the stars shine brighter than white

I can see colours in their sparkling light

There is no sound but they are speaking

I’m on my knees and I am weeping

My head in my hands

I touch the ground and it is cool on my skin

I am a window and the stars can see in

They are waiting there for something

I can only think of running

But there’s nowhere to hide

Say, this has been a long time coming

Yeah, this has been a long time coming

I sink on knee and fist and let out a cry

«What am I meant to be?»

I scream at the sky

And I am only met by silence

But it drowns out my defiance

I don’t know who I am

Oh, clarity has now disappeared

The only surety is fast-growing fear

My understanding ceases

I’ve fallen into pieces

And the universe smiles
