Contemplating, adjusting, moving into position,
and when you move, the world moves with you.
Taking into account more possibilities,
more options, you start anew.
Contemplating, adjusting, moving into position.
You see a bright square before you,
but when you reach out for it, it changes,
becoming a triangle... wavering in the air before you.
Imagine standing on top of a vulcano.
You feel so cold, but you do not shiver.
Smoke surrounds you, this is your great chance,
you jump into the crater.
But the world moves with you,
and suddenly you're flying above the vulcano,
powerless, wondering, contemplating.
Life..., reality..., our world...
So wonderful..
So beautiful...
So confusing!
Contemplating, adjusting, moving into position...
It takes courage not to give up hope,
courage to try and capture the bright square,
courage to jump into the crater...
Contemplating, adjusting, moving into position,
and when you move, the world moves with you...
