I hear the messages you speak
When you spoke them I have listened fervently
I hear the melodies you sing
I can feel them in the way you move through me
Softly sung through your humility
You speak through the serenity you breath
Spoken through the fears that I impart
Folly spoke and broke my breath apart
In absence of your will I was caught
In the aching of the foddering of hearts
I had dwelled inside for the longest time
Long before I learned the art of letting go
I heard you and when I followed you I found
You had opened up my heart and let it flow
Paint me in light
May my arguments fall within your sight
Paint me in light
May the amour fall in my fragmented night
While you make the call, you make it right
I’m standing here in my fright
I hoped all this time you were on my side
I hear you make it easier in time
I hear you make it easier in time
Gently, you persist upon my heart
Moulding every fibre into part
I can feel your touch within the dark
Despite my timid fears that I impart
In your quiet I am humbled non the less
When I feared the least in me was least you
Yet time intervened with what I thought
When I learned that you would keep your faith in me
I learned that you would keep you faith in me
