Pieces of lyrics that have touched my heart during my life.
Title: A THOUSAND YEARS
Artist: STING
Album: BRAND NEW DAY
Year: 1999
Style: POP-ROCK
I will conclude this challenge with Sting. He is constant in my music listening history. I like the most his album Brand new day. I also respect how he continues to grow and does not let the years touch him in a negative way.
Here is the whole lyrics of the song A thousand years:
A thousand years, a thousand more
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs
To a tower of souls
If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I could shed another million tears, a million breaths,
A million names but only one truth to face
A million roads, a million fears
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies, a million songs,
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point, this single flame,
This single haunted memory of your face
I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
I may be numberless, I may be innocent
I may know many things, I may be ignorant
Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands
I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes
Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief
I've kept this single faith, I have but one belief
I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
On and on the mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid
'Til you love me
I saw Sting's concert 3 times: in Munich in Ljubljana and recently last year in Croatia. Nice memories from different parts of my life.
Enjoy the video of A thousand years where you can see him performing on the concert in 2006:
