PUSHING AIR (Paula Jeanine Bennett)
Ascending
Ever onward
All expands there
In the silver space
Pushing air
Know this
Ephemeral
Sound riding current
In the silver space
Pushing air
Move through the dawn
I move through the moment
Here comes another day
Here comes another day

Melambung
Kian membumbung
Alam terkembang
Dalam kemilau perak
Menggiring angin
Resapi
Dalam sekelbat
Suara yang berselancar
Dalam kemilau perak
Menggiring angin
Berdesir sibak fajar
Ku mendesah melintas waktu
Sambut hari baru
Sambut hari baru

SANCTUARY (Paula Jeanine Bennett)
Upon rising, such clouds of dreams
Stutter and start, like a coming storm
And then the memory formed
And then the memory formed
In the dream I hurried home
but not before the rain began
Humbled before nature I ran
To keep some precious cargo dry
To keep some precious cargo dry
I hurried on, driven by need
And then there were many around me
Everyone yearning for shelter
Everyone yearning for shelter
Sanctuary
The street narrowed
Wet scraps and leaves
A pile of sticks, charred and sharp
And then I saw my feet were bare
Everyones’ feet were bare
We crowded to go through a door
Then all at once there was no door
Was getting late and getting cold
Shadow, shadow and storm
Shadow, shadow and storm
We huddled close but did not touch
The edges were all around us
Everyone yearning for shelter
Everyone yearning for shelter
Sanctuary
Coda:
I woke up, what a sensation
Home, but floating in danger
Here, such clouds of dreams
With everyone yearning for shelter
Everyone yearning for shelter
Sanctuary

MOLECULE (Paula Jeanine Bennett)
My room, my window, world
My hand, my mouth, my breath
Iman, aman, imun*
The unseen molecule
So round and beautiful
So dangerous and red
Iman, aman, imun
The unseen molecule
I sleep, I sit, I read
The bubble holds me in
Iman, aman, imun
The unseen molecule
----
* "spirit, secure, self-preservation" in Bahasa Indonesian

WALK WITH ME (Paula Jeanine Bennett)
Won’t you simply walk with me, so much pain has flowed between us
Won't you simply walk with me and I know we'll find our way
I am not my name or these trees around me
Or these words, this atmosphere
Though we echo the time before this
We're not who we were, long ago
Won't you simply walk with me so much pain has flowed between us
Won't you simply walk with me and I know we'll find our way
Before I knew it, many years had passed us
We didn't speak, we closed a door
Yet without a word you stayed inside me
Dreams of who we were, dust of what we know
Forgiveness, surrender
Here's the answer, see me now
Forgiveness, surrender
Here's the answer, see me for who I am now
Won't you simply walk with me so much pain has flowed between us
Won't you simply walk with me and I know we'll find our way

Ber jalan lah, ber sama ku
Walau amat sulit
Ber jalan lah, ber sama ku
Ada jalan bersatu
Ber jalan lah, ber sama ku
Walah amat sulit
Ber jalan lah, ber sama ku
Ada jalan bersatu
Penyembuhan, penuh harapan
Inilah jawabnya
Bersyukur
Penyembuhan, penuh harapan
Inilah jawabnya
Bersama bersyukur
Ber jalan lah, ber sama ku
Walau amat sulit
Ber jalan lah, ber sama ku
Ada jalan bersatu
