Water Bowl (awakening) Lyrics - Cirque Du Soleil

For too long, 

love seemed like an illusion, 

its golden promise 

obscured 

by reason and confusion. 

Too often, 

its favours were thrust upon me. 

An invasion. 

An intrusion. 

Then there was you. 

A revelation. 

Forbidden yet familiar, 

you stood before me, 

a hand outstretched. 

Not to give, 

not to take, 

but to simply -- caress. 

We kissed -- 

a passageway 

to secrets 

still unspoken, 

promises unbroken 

answers 

to questions not yet asked. 

A glimpse 

of the faces 

behind our masks. 

The taste of you 

burned in my mouth 

like an ancient truth. 

And then, 

as gently as a ghost, 

you were inside me. 

Your essence 

rising in my chest, 

your heartbeat 

pulsing beneath my breast. 

Desire 

burst from you 

like a string 

of flawless pearls. 

Between my thighs, 

your hands, 

guiding me 

to undiscovered 

lands 

treasures -- 

in the sand 

pleasures -- 

never known to man. 

And as we lay together, 

the first cool breath 

of morning 

on our skin, 

offering 

a silent benediction, 

we knew 

that we were not alone, 

that in this harsh 

and unforgiving world, 

we'd found a place that 

we can call our own. 

Who says only opposites 

attract?
