Flow — Theme of Venat

Music: Masayoshi Soken

Vocals: Amanda Achen

Well come and well met, my brave little spark

How long you’ve wandered, burned bright as a star

Oh, I have awaited you patiently all this time

Past every fate

Now sing with me once more, share of your life

Far greater than memory, its loss and love words cannot hold

Boundless the tale overflows

And carries your light out to sea

Remember the rain, near and far beloved

Each drop a blessing from heavens above

And how as time flowed on those waters became one

Streams, rivers and lakes

Reaching for the horizon and far beyond

They carry onward however changed with each brief reflection, by setting sun

By storm’s wake

’Til welcomed home to gentle sea

Sinking deeper and deeper in calm embrace

Loving tides sweep in and bear you down

Should you meet a soul rising surface-ways

With your unbeating heart, wish them well

Deep dark, far away, I have heard your voice, weighed your every choice

Now our hands join round the meaning you sought

I’ll catch your tears, quench your fears with joy ’til you near the shore

Where in time, all shall as hope be reborn, ah

Hush, love, close your eyes, and in sleep abide

As sun’s distant light, echoes down to dreams below

Know you will wake, on winds rise again

For this journey’s end is but one step forward to tomorrow
