Текст песни The Shape Of A Perfect Arc - Carrie Newcomer

I want to rise and set like the sun and moon
Not too late and not too soon
Like a shooting star in the dark
Whole life lived with an open heart
Like a ball that's hit out of the park
In the shape of a perfect arc

I want to be a start from an ancient tree
Growing up and down gratefully
Like a wave lifting up out of the sea
In the shape of a perfect arc
In the shape of a perfect arc

I believe in things unseen
What's here and there and in-between
I believe in what's yet unsaid
Like the coat that hangs on a wooden peg
Like a bow that waits in a thunder head
In the shape of a perfect arc

I want to be a start from an ancient tree
Growing up and down gratefully
Like a wave lifting up out of the sea
In the shape of a perfect arc
In the shape of a perfect arc

I want to open my arms and breathe
Forgive the street that skinned my knees
Like a dolphin leaping out of the sea
I hope I set like the moon and sun
With no hard feelings for anyone
Like incense smoke drifting up
A dam that breaks with a little luck
Like light that's poured from cup to cup
In the shape of a perfect arc

I want to be a start from an ancient tree
Growing up and down gratefully
Like a wave lifting up out of the sea
In the shape of a perfect arc
In the shape of a perfect arc
In the shape of a perfect arc
In the shape of a perfect arc
