Reaching Through to the Other Side Songtext

von My Brightest Diamond

Though there is stillness I can hear a heartbeat
Though I can't see you I can hear a sound
Through a veil I feel a hand near me
Reaching through to the other side

I receive this body mine
From womb to grave
I now walk an ancient line
One foot follows the other
This stone, this finite place
Is it limitless?

To touch the boundless
I hear a measureless rise
It seems so wondrous
Just to be alive

Hindrances, distresses of substance
I turn them over
Those forgotten I remember
And gather them up in my arms
Like some magic thing twisted and winding
It carries me on

Oh how gorgeous, oh how gorgeous to struggle now
To struggle now in time
