In the Arms of the Beloved
演唱：Anne Akiko Meyers、los angeles master chorale、Grant Gershon、Billy ChildsInto the arms of the beloved…
You are now the rose, the fearless rose…
Love! Love!
* * * *
At last…at last
You have departed and gone to the unseen
What marvelous route
Did you take from this world?
…this world.
Beating your wings and feathers
You broke free from this cage.
Rising up to the sky!
…rising up to the sky, to the sky…
You have attained the word of the soul!
…you attained the world of the soul…
…rising up to the sky…
You attained the world of the soul…of the soul!
You were a prized falcon
Housed in a human form
You were a prized falcon
Falcon
Human
Woman…
Then you heard the drummer’s call
And flew beyond space and time!
…drummer, drummer, drummer…
Then you heard the drummer’s call
And flew beyond space and time…
…and time
…and time!
Light
As a lovesick nightingale
You flew among the owls.
Then came the scent of the rose garden
And you flew off to meet the rose.
The wine of this fleeting world
Caused your head to ache.
Finally, you joined the tavern of eternity.
Like an arrow you sped, sped from the bow
And went straight for the eye, for the eye of bliss
You sped past the bow.
And went straight into the eye of bliss.
Love.
Into the arms of the beloved…
Ahh….
Phantom world…gave false signs…
This phantom world gave you false signs
But you turned from the illusion
And journeyed to the land of truth.
You are now the sun
You are now the sun
You are now the sun!
What need have you for a crown?
You have vanished from this world!
What need have you to tie your robe?
I’ve heard that you can barely see your soul.
But why look at all?
Yours is now the Soul of Souls.

Oh heart! Oh heart!
What a wonderful bird you are.
Seeking divine heights, flapping your wings
smashed the pointed spears of your enemy!
Oh heart.
…what a wonderful bird flying
into the arms of love!
Oh heart! Oh heart!
What a wonderful bird you are.
Seeking divine heights, flapping your wings
smashed the pointed spears of your enemy!
Oh heart.
…love
…light
…flowers flee from light…
The flowers flee from autumn, but not you
You are the fearless rose
That grows amidst the freezing wind.
The flowers flee from autumn, but not you
You are the fearless rose
That grows amidst the freezing wind.
…grows amidst the freezing wind.
Pouring down like rain from heaven
You fell upon the rooftop of this world.
The you ran in every direction
And escaped through the drainpipe…
You’re the fearless rose!
You are the rose that grows amidst the wind.
You are the rose, falling down like rain from heaven
You are the rose!
Fearless rose!
Fearless rose!
* * * *
Now the words are over
And the pain they bring is gone.
Now you have gone to rest…
In the arms of the beloved.
…love, love, love…
Now the words are over
And the pain they bring is gone.
Now you have gone to rest…
In the arms of the beloved.
Ooh…aah...
You are the rose!
Love…
Love…
Love…
You are now the rose, the fearless rose…
Love! Love!
