Special Plates Lyrics

Notice how each particle moves
Notice how everyone has just arrived here
From a journey
Notice how each wants a different food
Notice how the stars vanish as the sun comes up
And how all streams stream toward the ocean

Look at the chefs preparing special plates
For everyone, according to what they need
Look at this cup that can hold the ocean
Look at those who see the face
Look through Shams' eyes
Into the water that is
Entirely jewels

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
