Panther’s Voice

[Verse 1]

I came looking for an answer
I crossed the world to find a sign

I thought the truth was somewhere waiting
At the end of some distant line

I met a shadow in the darkness
I heard a voice without a name

And every answer that she gave me
Only made me ask again

[Panther]

What did you find?

[Male]

I found that I was looking
In the wrong direction

[Verse 2]

I thought the world was made of borders
I thought the stranger lived outside

I thought that time was taking everything
I thought that death was where things died

But every river joins another
Every road becomes a road

Every living thing is changing
Nothing travels alone

[Panther]

And what do you believe now?

[Male]

I don't know

And for the first time

I'm not afraid to say it

[Dialogue]

Are you the earth?

Perhaps

Are you my mind?

Perhaps

Are you the future?

Perhaps you are

[Verse 3]

I stopped looking for the answer
I stopped asking who was right

I learned to listen to the silence
I learned to look beyond the lines

And somewhere far beyond the darkness
I saw two eyes beneath the moon

I didn't know if she was waiting

Or if she was me

[Final]

I hear your voice
I hear the world
I hear the silence in between

I hear your voice
And now I know

I don't have to know what you are

[Outro - Panther]

You thought you were following me

You were following yourself

[Final Sound]

A distant panther growl
