„Coming“

Sound for Edith Karlson installation „Family“

Performed by Jimmy Somerville
From the album Orlando
(Varèse Sarabande 1993)

I am coming! I am coming!
I am coming through!
Coming across the divide to you
In this moment of unity
feeling an ecstasy
to be here, to be now
At last I am free
Yes at last, at last
to be free of the past
and the future that beckons me
I am coming! I am coming!
Here I am!
Neither a woman, nor a man
We are joined, we are one
With the human face
We are joined, we are one
With the human face
I am on earth
And I am in outer space
I’m being born and I am dying
I am on earth
And I am in outer space
I’m being born and I am dying
I am coming! I am coming!
I am coming through!
Coming across the divide to you
In this moment of unity
feeling an ecstasy
to be here, to be now
At last I am free!
Yes at last, at last
to be free of the past
and the future that beckons me
Yes at last, at last
to be free of the past
and the future that beckons me
I am coming! I am coming!
Here I am!
Neither a woman, nor a man
Oh we are joined, we are one
with the human face
Oh we are joined, we are one
with the human face
At last I am free!
At last I am free!
I am on earth
And I am in outer space
I’m being born and I am dying
I am on earth
And I am in outer space
I’m being born, I am dying
At last I am free!
At last I am free!
Yes at last, at last, at last I’m free!
Yes at last, at last, at last I’m free!¹
