lyrics

the rain has stopped
thunder once roared now has moved on
take my first breath
as these strange new skies are born again
no time for rest
they’ll run downhill
like streams they trickle through the field
into the night
i hear their thoughts
like time they filter to an end
but still they fight
the war is long
it’s fought in every lonely heart of man
they’re taking aim
the time has come i can’t resist and i can’t move on

beloved one
some wait so patient, some persist
and some turn back
some gather much
and in secret places they cry out
for still they lack
the kingdom of God
it’s boundless it provides without an end

the songs of yesterday i start to sing
from high on this mountaintop so my heart won’t freeze
it’s warmer now, my thoughts are clear
yeah i’ll find my way back down form here
all night i wait
for you to sing me into sleep like you did that day

wait not till spring
rise forth you early blooming child
you morning star
you’ll take my heart
i grow so weak, so weak my dear
i’ve come so far
my feet give out
with one last sigh I fall into your arms

the songs of yesterday i start to sing
from high on this mountaintop so my heart won’t freeze
it’s warmer now, my thoughts are clear
yeah i’ll find my way back down form here
look close my love
you may mistake my eyes for stars, my mouth for wind
look close my love
you may find where you thought i’d end is where i begin
