Lyrics
The things I want to tell you
Slip past and by my tongue
Before my heart can free the words
To which my mind has clung
There’re times that I can catch it
That you might come to hear
Then I circle all my wagons
Desire and hope and fear
A story holds a truth
No truth without a story
There’s no worthy story
That’s not hard-won
I walk along the river
As I move among the spheres
I hear the words “I love you”
That raises all my fears
I saw an act of kindness
That later spoke of lies
And I fled a dark oppressor
Who was only saving lives
I see with my eyes
I see with my mind
I see with my heart
That I not be blind
I hear with my heart
I hear with my ears
I hear with my mind
The truth of my tears
I pray the words I’m weaving
Shape well the things I say
And point to that Horizon
Not lead us all astray
May our time together lift us
Past this world of dust and clay
In all the worlds we travel
May we find the better way
