THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT

I thought I heard the angels
Calling out for me
I thought I heard the river
Crying for the sea

I stand where the forest turns to sand
The ocean takes a deep breath in
The night, so black
The moon, so dim
The seabirds, all asleep

I stand where the river runs wild and clear
My feet on the edge of the last frontier
I'm pulled by a dream that came to me
One night when I was asleep

The ocean pulls
The earth, it quakes
The dam inside my soul must break
All of my days will distill to one drop
Into one point of light in the dark

Such beautiful dreams, I hold in my hands
Where I am going, there is no land
No curse can lay upon me
When I am out at sea

No grave can keep my body down
No more, I'll sink
No more, I'll drown
Thunder rumbles in the far away clouds
The seabirds stir from their sleep

I stand in front of the swallowing night
Choking on the last piece of light
Wounded by the darkness
And blinded by the sun

The lightning comes from my fingertips
The rain pours from my eyes
I come up on the edge of God
The light that I lost deep inside

My dream begins to flutter
I open my hand, and she flies
Through the storm, over black water
Into the dark ocean, she dives

She belongs to the water
She is a piece of the sky
She sings as she flies against the wind
And when she is happy, she cries

I come up on the edge of God
The ocean pulls me in
I release the dream, touching her wings
I know she will be back again

Such beautiful dreams, I hold in my hands
The ocean takes a deep breath in
There is a light that never goes out
In the darkest part of the sea.
