if

if the light can reach my soul
then why can’t i find my way
if the words can pierce my mind
then why are there none to say
if the room is filled with friends
then why am i so alone
if i just can’t see the end
then where am i to go

if i can sing a melody of fire
then why is it cold at night
if i can walk along a distant shore
then why am i sad and my eyes so dry
if i can run into your arms
then why is the path so long
if i can wander in a field of memories
then why do i awake forlorn
fly
oh my soul
fly
the Light has come down for you
guiding your searching soul
His promises faithful and and true
for they will mend and make you whole
and remember
the never-forsaking God
is beside you
let His embrace define you

fly
oh my soul
fly
His fire will scatter the night
stay on the sorrowful shore
and raise your tears to the sky
as you open your heart
and let go of the why
yes it’s narrow and steep
so stay on your knees
and fly
oh my soul
fly

maybe

maybe it’s because
the way things are
i’m longing
for what used to be
maybe it’s because
what used to be
is why the way things are

maybe it’s because
i’m remembering
a world that was gentle and true
maybe it’s because
what’s gentle and true
was forsaken and broken
back then too
maybe it’s because
we’re lost wandering souls
that it seems faith is gone
hope and love sailed away
maybe it’s because
we’ve wandered so far
the light seems so dim
we don’t know
who we are
maybe we can turn
and swim upstream
awaken and see the Way
maybe we can hear
the Truth with our ears
and Life can return
to our poor restless souls
let’s surrender
right now
all we think we know
and find His rest and peace
for only if we lose our lives
in His love and light
only then can we rise
pray with me
that we will see
the world we carry inside
mended and healed
by the Way
the Truth
the Life
