The Witness
Nils Jakob Langvik, Anja Garbarek
It appeared
Right here
Before my own
Two eyes
Me
I'm a witness
To this beauty
Watching
As your body
Is trying so hard
To stay
As smooth
As your words
Little by little
It’s all added up
Extraordinarily
Out of the ordinary
A spectular mess
As you stumble along
Down through this marvellous maze
Full of traps
With only one way out
You walk
Into dead ends
Again and again
I keep my distance
Still able to see
You
And follow
Your very long tail
I wonder whatever
You will have
Happening next
Waiting for all this
To turn out true
Little by little
It's all added up
Extraordinarily
Out of the ordinary
A spectular mess
As you stumble along
Down through this marvellous maze
When you
Take a deep breath
And raise your head
Up high
It's the very first lie
Of an innocent
And me
I’m a witness
To this beauty
