  • 0:09 - 0:11
    (Guitar music)
  • 0:43 - 0:47
    One step as I take it
  • 0:47 - 0:50
    sweeps me away.
  • 0:50 - 0:56
    Beneath and above, I am.
  • 0:58 - 1:02
    Bursting passion,
  • 1:02 - 1:06
    A taste of this direction
  • 1:06 - 1:11
    Hunger and thirst I am.
  • 1:13 - 1:19
    Focused distraction I am
  • 1:21 - 1:26
    I feel every part as I am.
  • 1:29 - 1:34
    Seeping your garden I am
  • 1:36 - 1:41
    A piece in your madness
  • 1:42 - 1:46
    I am.
  • 1:51 - 1:55
    A rush through my body
  • 1:55 - 1:59
    I run and I can't breathe.
  • 1:59 - 2:04
    Stop to continue, I am.
  • 2:06 - 2:10
    Lost and ecstatic.
  • 2:10 - 2:14
    Spinning, I can't speak.
  • 2:14 - 2:20
    A base in your beat I am.
  • 2:22 - 2:27
    Focused distraction I am.
  • 2:29 - 2:35
    I feel every part as I am.
  • 2:37 - 2:42
    Seeding your garden I am.
  • 2:44 - 2:51
    A piece in your madness I am.
  • 2:51 - 2:54
    I am.
  • 2:55 - 3:01
    I am.
  • 3:03 - 3:05
    I am.
  • 3:06 - 3:12
    I am.
  • 3:15 - 3:19
    Oooo...
  • 3:29 - 3:33
    Oooo...
  • 3:44 - 3:47
    I am, I am,
  • 3:47 - 3:51
    I am, I am.
  • 3:51 - 3:58
    I am.
  • 3:58 - 4:02
    I am, I am,
  • 4:02 - 4:05
    I am, I am.
  • 4:05 - 4:12
    I am.
  • 4:14 - 4:18
    Oooo...
  • 4:29 - 4:33
    Oooo...
  • 4:46 - 4:47
    (Applause)
  • 4:49 - 4:51
    Thank you.
