Originally from the 2006 record "Colours of Addiction," this rendition of "The Next Plateau" was re-recorded in 2014 to capture the simplicity that was initially intended when written.
lyrics
Time is winding to a close,
And the end is drawing near,
Complexity haunts this life,
Can't you see, there is more than meets the eye,
We're running through the fields,
Where the thorns have pulled me down,
So I will ask of you,
To reinstate to the place on solid ground
To the next plateau where I can see my face in your eyes,
You freely reach for me with love in that I recognize,
To the next plateau where your sweet songs fill my ears,
You freely reach for me with love into this heart of tears,
This heart of tears
What kind of occurrence,
Does it take,
For me to be aware,
It always takes to long,
For me to see,
There is more than meets the eye,
We're running through the fields
Where the thorns have pulled me down,
So I will ask of you,
To reinstate me to the place on solid ground
To the next plateau where I can see my face in your eyes,
You freely reach for me with love in that I recognize,
To the next plateau where your sweet songs fill my ears,
You freely reach for me with love into this heart of tears,
This heart of tears
Bridge
I feel your love lifting me up to higher ground,
That I'd never reach on my own and my,
Horizons are expanding,
As I take flight...
To the next plateau where I can see my face in your eyes,
You freely reach for me with love in that I recognize,
To the next plateau where your sweet songs fill my ears,
You freely reach for me with love into this heart of tears,
This heart of tears
