[Verse 1]
At the dawn, I woke, I was alone, rising
I called upon the force of time and space, calling
And as she came to me, I fell back down, realizing
Oh, that it's cool for you to love me now; I'm everything

[Chorus]
'Cause tried and true
I see the light in you
Oh, can you dig in my soul?
Could you smell my whole life?

[Verse 2]
You bent the edge, eclipsed, and turned around, aligning
And though the dark sparked rays of violet light, blinding
I went about the job of sowing thoughts and feelings
Oh, some were good, some bad, I felt the cries of healing

[Chorus]
'Cause tried and true
I see the light in you
Oh, can you dig in my soul?
Could you smell my whole life?

[Bridge]
Rise, my dawn
You've been awake too long
Let me rest in time
While I blow your mind
