I underlined those words about four years before this song came to be. I loved the concept so

Lyrics
we are on the earth, earth that’s underfoot
we live in the cities, where all the people are put
it’s loud and it’s crowded
i’d like to be back where i’m from
to the swelling in the sky shaped for my spirit
where i’m free from my finite state of mind
catastrophic flesh bullies every goodness
the more i come to know i find i understood less
of a savior and his bride, father and his daughter
and i’d like to be back where i’m from
to the swelling in the sky shaped for my spirit
where i’m free from my finite state of mind
a ray of light centers on my face
i remember every feeling, every place that warmed me
these echoes of my essence accentuates my
longing for that space
where wrongs have been forgotten, of grief there is no trace
and i’d like to be back where i’m from
to the swelling in the sky shaped for my spirit
where i’m free from my finite state of mind
where i’m free from my finite state of mind
where i’m free from my finite state of mind
