[Verse 1: Esperanza Spalding]
Stolen light
Blood and night
Our shadows cast behind
Now fall in front of me
I’m blind
Buried sound
Scorching ground
Old seeds left
Budding with the unshed
Planted deep
I’m deaf

[Bridge: Esperanza Spalding]
Like silent sent on down
Our weakness on the ground
To win the darkness now
You’ll sleep with some pure sound

[Verse 2: Esperanza Spalding]
In my dreams
Come drifting
Home lights and distant feelings
Are on and welcoming
Every street
Lost all meaning
Without electric favor
And I, watching from
Heaven
And send me down
With the snow
Kiss the ground
With light and pure sound
[Verse 3: Esperanza Spalding]
Even in light
Under my feet
Blackness remains
Between the Earth and me
I’m in the light
Under my feet
Blackness remains
Between the Earth and me
I am the light
Under my feet
Blackness remains
Between the Earth and me
I wanna dance in the shadow

[Outro: Esperanza Spalding]
Reunion of
The stolen blood
The dance above
Shadows
