lyrics

Galiana (3:18)

Galiana standing in a world that is demanding
She entreats the bitter crowd to know her name
but while she is confessing, unaware, she is undressing
for a soul who'd rather smile when she is slain

Harder now
If you look harder now
wonderful things are ready and able to be
defiant by emotion, crying to the open ocean
bye bye to loneliness
bye bye to emptiness

Galiana walking while the government is talking
of a better place for all to share as one
but when she finds the address, she is startled by the madness
of a place created better just for some

Harder now
If you look harder now
wonderful things are ready and able to be
and if you catch that feeling, and you hold to inspiration
bye bye to loneliness
bye bye to emptiness

Blithely as the rain but as deeply as a veil
she turns around and listens for a cup of conversation
to relieve the inner ache of a name without a sound
while the sewing and the sweeping are the only friends she's keeping

Galiana hoping all the roads that are worth knowing
are the ones that cross the world to come back home
but far away the scratching of a world forever hatching
and dispatching any trace of what she's known

Harder now
If you look harder now
wonderful things are ready and able to be
defiant by emotion, crying to the open ocean
bye bye to loneliness
bye bye to emptiness
