[Spoken]
We call this a bamboo slit drum...

[Verse 1]
Time is of the essence, my heart drunk to your presence
Every thought, fear and temptation'll make up my confession
And I'm searching for a way
To temper all this burning inside
Never who I was, never what I wanna be
But I am looking in your eyes and I'm shaken by what I see
It's a never ending world of possibility, and I know

[Pre-Chorus]
You got me frozen, looking out the window
Waiting for the morning light
Like a flower burning in the desert
Fighting against my pride
Ringing and ringing and ringing and ringing in my head
Closer and closer and louder and louder and louder

[Chorus]
Initiation day, packed up and on my way
Can you hear the bells?
There's a lot at stake and I'm not feeling brave
'Cause I can hear the bells
[Post-Chorus]
(Vocalising)

[Verse 2]
Feeling the vibrations of every decision
And I'm hoping that you'll break this invisible division
But it's never who I was, not what I wanna be
But I am
Initiation comes with these complications
I'm confused about the number of changes that it's bringing
And I tremble at the thought, the possibility of unknown

[Pre-Chorus]
You got me frozen, looking out the window
Waiting for the morning light
Like a flower burning in the desert
Fighting against my pride
Ringing and ringing and ringing and ringing in my head
Closer and closer and louder and louder and louder now

[Chorus]
Initiation day, packed up and on my way
Can you hear the bells?
There's a lot at stake and I'm not feeling brave
'Cause I can hear the bells
[Post-Chorus]
(Vocalising)

[Outro]
