Lyrics: Selima Taibi/Johannes Butzer
Music: Selima Taibi
I am a soft one maybe the softest
But you’re so gentle keep my insides well
Like a snowflake in your hands and you balance them just right
Cupped and open
Cupped and open
I felt your absence before I met you
Prearranged return at the right moment
Drawing circles around us paint all over your fingers
Cupped and open
Cupped and open
Remember we were warriors
And we were siblings
A love that whispers
In an ancient language
We broke open at the chest
And we found kindness
An alliance an alliance
I am a soft one maybe the softest
But you’re so gentle keep my insides well
Like a snowflake in your hands and you balance them just right
Cupped and open
Cupped and open
I felt your absence before I met you
Prearranged return at the right moment
Drawing circles around us paint all over your fingers
Cupped and open
Cupped and open
Remember we were warriors
And we were siblings
A love that whispers
In an ancient language
We broke open at the chest
And we found kindness
An alliance an alliance
Always always moving like the water
We jumped right in and we kept flowing
Pillowed on a bed of light when I look into your eyes
Time dissolving
Time dissolving
