John Adams - I WAS LOOKING AT THE CEILING AND THEN I SAW THE SKY

Dewain's Song of Liberation and Surprise

I saw the moon in the morning
I felt the water on dry land
I saw the moon in the morning
I found the river in the sand

And walls shook
And they fell
And I heard the shattering
And I heard, I felt the roar of the devil climbing out of hell

And the air itself was battering the windows
And the door flew open
And my books crashed to the floor

And it was like a miracle of fish
And it was like a miracle of fish
And flowers
And flowers
Covering up the chaos
Covering up the chaos of my cell

But I could not trust my feet
Because the ground was weird and incomplete

And so I stood still
And so I stood still
Stood still

I said, I am the way
I am the way
I am the way I will be free

I am the way
I am the way
I am the way I will be free

I am the way
I am the way
I am the way I will be free

It doesn't matter where I put my head to bed

It doesn't matter where I put my head to bed

I am here, I am free

I am the way
I am the way
I am the way I will be free

I am the way
I am the way
I am the way I will be free
