Stand on the shores of a site unseen
The s ubstance of this dwells in me
Cause my natural eyes only go skin deep
But the eyes of my heart anchor the sea
Pl umbing the depths to the place in between
The t angible world and the land of a dreams
Because everything aint quite it seems
Theres m ore beneath the appearance of things
A beggar could be king within the s hadows,
Of a wing
And w isdom will honor everyone who will learn
To l isten, to love, and to pray and discern
And t o do the right thing even when it burns
And to l ive in the light through treacherous turns
A m an is weak, but the spirit yearns
To k eep to the course from the bow to the stearn
And th row overboard every selfish concern
That tri es to work for what cant be earned
Sometimes the only way to return is to go,
Where the winds will take you
And to let go, of all, you cannot hold on to
For the hope, beyond,the blue
Yellow and gold as the new day dawns
Like a v irgin unveiled who waited so long
To d ance and rejoice and sing her song
And re st in the arms of a love so strong
No o ne comes unless theyre drawn
By the v oice of desire that leads em along
To the redemption of what went wrong
By the b lood that coveres the innocent one
No more separati on
Between us.
So l ift your voice just one more time
If th eres any hope may it be a sign
That everything was made to shine
Desp ite what you can see
So ta ke this bread and drink this wine
And h ide your spirit within the vine
Where all things will work by a good design
For tho se who will believe
And let go, of all, you cannot hold on to
For the hope, beyond,the blue
Said I let go, of all, I could not hold ont o
For the hope, I have, in you
