The Crossing

I see a sliver of light
It shines right through these trees
Soon it will cover everything
Please don’t take it from me Please don’t take it from me I could have sworn I heard a prayer
Slowly chanted in the night
Soon now, deliverance is mine
Please hear what I’m saying
Please hear what I am saying
Will you stay or will you go?
Will you gain speed or will you slow?
We are approaching the crossing
I feel the first drops of rain
Soon we will wash away
Take all our bitterness to sea
Don’t go so far away from me Don’t go so far away from me I let myself ride on the waves
I don’t care where they will take me As long as you’re floating next to me Don’t leave me drifting away from you
Don’t leave me drifting away from you
(Still as the sea
Dense are the clouds
I hear your sound
Washing down)
I feel you still
I know we will
