lyrics

I saw a girl, she looked like me
She had the same long black hair.
I saw a girl, she looked like me
She stood firm like a rock in the stream

Do I know you, have we met before?
I recognize that questioning look in your face
What are the words you do not say?
A secret lock within you bars your reckoning day

Have you ever stood in a crowded room?
Every voice is shouting in an echoing tomb
Have you ever climbed a forest of vines?
You reach your hands above as every rope comes untied

Do I know you, have we met before?
Did I see you walking on my grandfather’s shore?
Do I know you, have we met before?
The root from where we came has been ripped out and torn

Have you ever found the forest of fire?
Lain upon the ground as the flames grew higher
Have you ever swam in the reeds of the sea?
Swallowing the tide to kick untangle your feet

Do I know you, have we met before?
I see myself imprinted on your face I'm sure
Do I know you, have we met before?
A lock within me opens as I knock on your door
