lyrics

Did you hear the whisper of the sparrow’s song
Or hungry raven’s cry
Did you come to know these as a mournful tune
Or precious lullaby

You have heard the sounding sea
You have seen the wandering stars
And you have stood where many fell
And witnessed here the darkening clouds

And what the price to pay to walk these sweeping moments
In this measured time
Did you dance and laugh at morning’s offerings
And weep at jealous night

You have heard the sounding sea
You have seen the wandering stars
And you have stood where many fell
And witnessed here the darkening clouds

I look to the ones who have come before
In effort to name what I cannot see
I stumble and fall on words unsaid
Following thoughts that I cannot hold

Did you walk alone beneath this heaven’s clouds
To shroud yourself in sky
Did you lie for moments’ quiet
To keep from winter’s deep and bitter winds

You have heard the sounding sea
You have seen the wandering stars
And you have stood where many fell
And witnessed here the darkening clouds

Did you hear the sparrow’s song
