These are the lyrics to the song “Twilight Zone” which we played at the Gorsedh Final night. It is about how, as children, we think we can communicate telepathically with our closest friends and/or loved ones. Do we unlearn this sort of ability or did we never really have it in the first place? I have seen enough in my life to believe that children are psychic and receptive to extraordinary stimuli in ways that most adults never are…:
Even as I sit here
Yes, I hear, I hear you call
And even though I wonder why
It feels so wonderful;
Even though it sounds strange
I almost see the invisible
And even though we’re far apart
It’s not so impossible…
Chorus
SCREAM AND SHOUT –
JUST LET IT OUT –
I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW!
SHOUT AND SCREAM
AND I WILL SEE YOU
IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE;
WE TOUCHED WHERE NO-ONE EVER TOUCHED BEFORE
AND NOW I KNOW
NO MATTER WHERE WE ARE,
WE’LL TOUCH THE STARS,
I’LL MEET YOU
IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE…
Even as we tumble
No-one else can hear us fall
And even though we’re screaming
We’re still barely audible;
Even if we’re dreaming
It’s still unexplainable
And even as we breathe
We share the unbelievable…
