Movement VI - Innocence Lyrics

Alanis in French, Salif Keita in Mali, w/ The English Chamber Chorus in French  

By moon we gather 
For the ascension 
Great sky shelter us 
With your endless compassion 

Last survivor 
It is you who must pass 
Into the light of the new world 

Under a sky of innocence 
We are now all dying 
In a slow black rain 
Was it a failure 
Of man and angels? 
Was it a failure of love? 

From this human river 
Too cruel for winter 
Welcome to the gates 
A rehearsal for the silence 
Pray we do not enter 

Under a sky of innocence 
We bathe in the seduction 
Beautiful 
The light is unraveling now 
We open our arms to it 

It is close to ground zero 

 I am no one 
Yet I am everyone 

We are nothing, but we are all 
When I am still, I am inspired 

We are not yet born 

Half sadness 
But half choice 

When I am still I can hear 
You speak most clearly 

Father can you help me 
For the ocean is big 
And my boat is small 

Find the courage
