  • A Love Before Time

    Performed By CoCo Lee

    Music by Jorge Calandrelli & Tan Dun

    Lyric by James Schamus

    from: Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

    If the sky opened up for me,
    And the mountains disappeared,
    If the seas ran dry, turned to dust
    And the sun refused to rise
    I would still find my way,
    By the light I see in your eyes.
    The world I know fades away
    But you stay.

    As the earth reclaims its due,
    And the cycle starts anew,
    We’ll stay, always
    In the love that we have
    Shared before time.

    If the years take away
    Every memory that I have
    I would still know the way
    That would lead me back to your side.
    The North star may die
    But the light that I see in your eyes
    Will burn there always
    Lit by the love we have
    Shared before time.

    When the forest turns to jade
    And the stories that we’ve made.
    Dissolve away
    One shining light will still remain.

    When we shed our earthly skin,
    And when our real life begins,
    There’ll be no shame
    Just the love that we have made before time.

  • Spirit

    By Chris Roe

    Keeper of the morning light,
    Guardian of the flame,
    White knight of my soul.

    Given at the beginning,
    As a last defence,
    At the centre of life.

    Never beaten or destroyed,
    Never taken or confined
    Never traded or lost,

    And shared only
    For love.

    The above poem is from
