Inconceivable You Are
03:57

You witness don't know what, sunrise at Angkor Wat

Bhedaa bheda - one and different - inconceivable you are

You want to see divine no matter mind recoil

Known Unto God
04:22
|

[Chorus]
As I stand amongst the rows
I imagine facing lines
Of children dressed as soldiers
Orders awaiting
The politician rules
Push objective sound on paper
Purpose of it all only
Is known unto God
[Verse 1]
I want to understand
To divine positive
To know the plan - see bigger picture
Where ev'ryone comes good
A higher purpose served
I want to find divine adventure
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
I want to rise above
Idea of us and them
To see us all as sister - brother
I want to reach beyond
For or against divide
To see as one - nobody other
[Middle 8]
Be known unto God
Explanation - reason
Camaraderie goal?
Or is this day not the end?
Are we setting the stage
For an act yet to play
In some lifetime to come?
Is only known unto God
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
