"The Big Music" lyrics

"The Big Music"

I have heard the big music
And I'll never be the same
Something so pure
Just called my name

I have drowned in the big sea
Now I find I'm still alive
And I'm coming up for ever
Shadows all behind me, ecstacy to come

I have
Climbed the big tree
Touched the big sky
I just stuck my hand up in the air
And everything came into colour
Like Jazz mana from sweet, sweet chariots

I have seen the big mountain
And I swear I'm halfway there

(You'll never get there, you'll never get there, you'll never get there)

But I will, I will always climb the mountain
Because...

I have heard the big music
And I'll never be the same
Something so pure
Has called my name
