lyrics

Though I may wait forever
Alone in the woods
It will be for the better
For He said "It was good"

The aspens are afright
And the wind has been thrown
By the courts in valley
Where all mistakes grow

Surrounded by darkness
and shadows alike
As if the moon perished
And the stars on are strike

And though I may starve
When they leave me to die
My grave will be empty
When I learn to
Fly

A thousand times I've tried
To get along on a Sunday Psalm
But He didn't jump off the page
That's when I knew there was something wrong
With me
Or with you
Or with me

That's why I'm
Searching for my own new path
Not to say it's your fault
And it didn't sit right with me
A jaded man singin' worship songs
With me
And with you
And with me

It's time to find
A way not made of men
Where sun shines
through muck we made up then
Professions gone and we are free
The laws are great pedagogy
Of a union set with Man and Earth
The time is now for our rebirth

Surrounded by beauty
and wonder alike
As if the sun awoke
With stars shining bright
