Yes – Magnification lyrics

Days that we speak
I believe that you were right
Shouldn't chase the demons and the phantoms of the night

Some treat as lovers
Some treat as slaves
This fusion of insight is all that we imagine

Speak to me clearly
You're the magnet to my soul
I get so distracted trying to reason with it all
Like the faithful
I'm clinging to the edge of every world
Spinning in creation
So afraid to let my feelings really show

Teach me to teach me
How the key unlocks the door
As we open we surrender, holding hands with many more
There's a feeling that's coming
There's a feeling so real
To justify, to magnify, to realize that
Everything is love

Now, after all the love you have
You can always get it back
Knowing how you really see
Knowing it will come to you
Knowing it can really be

Magnificate, magnification
Magnificate, magnification
First you're smaller being alive
Growing taller learn to survive
Magnificate, magnification
Magnificate, magnification
First you're smaller being alive
Growing taller learn to survive

Perception of living
I realize I'm not alone
The rings that divide
Break again upon the stone
I will show you a necklace
Where the pearls would all be lost
Without the thread between together
This would be the golden thread of trust

Speak to me, teach me
Magnify the truth you are
Waiting for the rebeginning birth of every star

A symbol is planted
On the brow of every child
To justify, to magnify
To realize that everything is love

Now giving all the love you have
You will always get it back
Giving all the love you have
You can always get it back
Giving all the love you have
Giving all the love

Magnificate, magnification
Magnificate, magnification
First you're smaller being alive
Growing taller learn to survive
