Name: Xiantrop
Duration: P00H02M57S
Description: Xiantrop is a friend I’ve met on one of the shamanic journeys. Part bison/moose, part human. I won’t forget what his fur felt like under my fingers, his calm, solemn face, and what it was like to sit next to him and gaze at the stars. This one is for you, my brother. Hope it makes your world a happy place.

lyrics

I’m not really part of this world that you have here
I bear no colours and prefer to fly
My heart is too soft,
I cry happy tears
and I am to stay that way,
till I die.

I am the space where no words can harm
There in the stars, I’m longing my home
But I’m here to help,
to learn, to laugh
I’m here to stay,
so you’re not alone.

Black butterfly, no threat, no fear
Glitch in the system, the shadow that flies
And though I am different, I’ll always be here
Hidden, with nothing to hide.

I’m not really part of this world that you have here
I bear no colours and prefer to fly
My heart is too soft, I cry happy tears
But I’m here and will stay till we say the good bye
