lyrics

SHINE DOWN

For what hath been can never be as if it had not been at all
For what had been can never be as if it had not been at all
We gaze but never can we see, retrace your footsteps fall

Oh a guiding hand for all the way
How we need it from day to day
What should we choose, he pondered long
The sounds of birds and bees
For a light from heaven, clear and divine
On the path before me, brightly shine
For what had been can never be as if it had not been at all

We gaze but never can we see for what had never been at all
An oft-repeated song, a soft and supple melody I found
Oh for a light from heaven, clear and divine, shine down

Watch for lights from heaven's touch
Onward and homeward should I hear
This is the way, it is clear

Hours flit on by, hours flit on by
Loud wind crashes, moans
Strong rain lashing home
Torrent under a bridge
Slippery stones, cold and wet
Storm-beaten and alone
Faintly where the road has led
In the shadow of the depths
Through the briars, fears and grass

On the grimmest rocks
They mount with panting breath to sterner toll
Faint and wounded, bleeding
Hungry thirst and chill into the bone
Steeper thorns on growing hill
Growing old, growing old
Strong winds they disappear
They quiver, ache unto the bone
