Beyond Blue

„Stand on the shores of a site unseen

The substance of this dwells in me

Cause my natural eyes only go skin deep

But the eye’s of my heart anchor the sea

Plumbing the depths to the place in between

The tangible world and the land of a dreams

Because everything ain’t quite it seems

There’s more beneath the appearance of things

A beggar could be king within the shadows,

Of a wing

 

And wisdom will honor everyone who will learn

To listen, to love, and to pray and discern

And to do the right thing even when it burns

And to live in the light through treacherous turns

A man is weak, but the spirit yearns

To keep on course from the bow to the stearn

And throw overboard every selfish concern

That tries to work for what can’t 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 onto

For the hope, beyond,the blue

Yellow and gold as the new day dawns

Like a virgin unveiled who waited so long

To dance and rejoice and sing her song

And rest in the arms of a love so strong

No one comes unless they’re drawn

By the voice of desire that leads em’ along

To the redemption of what went wrong

By the blood that coveres the innocent one

No more separation

Between us.

 

So lift your voice just one more time

If there’s any hope may it be a sign

That everything was made to shine

Despite what you can see

So take this bread and drink this wine

And hide your spirit within the vine

Where all things will work by a good design

For those who will believe

 

And let go, of all, we cannot hold onto

For the hope, beyond, the blue

 

Said I let go, of all, I could not hold onto

For the hope, I have, in you“ [1]
