      This is were her versatility shows. You really hear bway in her here. You don't think of the r &b in her she really doesn't do any runs. She just sings the hell out of it with passion and an incredible beautiful voice with power. I love this. I'm not sure if her regular crowd would appreciate it. I'm not sure.

    Beyond, beyond
    It sounds full of wind and mist, doesn't it
    It means other things exist, doesn't it
    Beyond, beyond
    It says Adam leave your list, doesn't it
    Father why does my head feel this joy and this dread
    Since the moment I said
    Beyond
    I've got an itching on the tips of my fingers
    I've got a burning in the back of my brain
    I've got a hunger burning inside me, cannot be denied
    I've got a feeling that the Father who made us
    When He was kindling a pulse in my veins
    He left a tiny spark of that fire, smoldering inside
    The spark of creation is flickering within me
    The spark of creation is blazing in my blood
    A bit of the fire that lit up the stars and brought life into the mud
    The first inspiration, the spark of creation
    I see a mountain and I want to climb it
    I see a river and I want to leave shore
    Where there was nothing let there be something
    Something made by me
    There's things waiting for me to invent them
    There's worlds waiting for me to explore
    I am an echo of the eternal cry of
    Let there be
    The spark of creation burning bright within me
    The spark of creation won't let me rest at all
    Until I discover or build or uncover, a thing that I can call
    My celebration of the spark of creation
    The spark of creation, may it burn forever
    The spark of creation, I am a keeper of the flame
    We think all we want is a lifetime of leisure
    Each perfect day the same, endless vacation
    Well, that's alright if you're a kind crustacean
    But when you're born with an imagination
    Sooner of later you're feeling the fire, getting hotter and higher
    The spark of creation
