"Crystal Stream"

Albums > Crystal Stream > Lyrics >
Track 13. To You above this Darkness

To you above this darkness, the day beyond my night
Walking through the valley, I will raise my eyes, I know you are the light
That's always shining, burning through these shadows to my eyes
So I will set your flame before me, I will chart my course by you
You are my hope, my inspiration and I know, you will bring this traveller through

For you I break this the silence that has held me far too long
And these stumbling words I offer, they will rise and be caught up into a song
That has no ending, even the echoes outlast place and time
And now dumb lips shall offer music and silent voices be raised
until all earth and sky are singing and even these dust and stones offer praise

And we walk through the green fields
By the cool and quiet waters
and I feel you fall in step beside me
We will walk, we will run, we will climb...

Oh joy beyond my sorrow, peace beyond my rage
You know me, read me like a book and yet you leave your love between each page
and its simplicity confounds the complications that I bring
So I throw down from my shoulders all the needless weight I bear
I will leave it far behind me and then walk into the world and meet you there

I will meet you there.... (repeat)
