The Bigger Picture |
Long before the colors start to bleed |
I can see the painting come alive |
Clever like an angel in disguise |
Moving in and out of reach |
If the candle lights this crooked path |
Like a lighthouse peering through the haze |
I will find the river through the rain |
And I’ll reach the water’s edge |
Shed your light on me (shed your light on me) |
Be my eyes when I can’t see |
Shed your light on me (shed your light on me) |
Be my guide so I can see |
The bigger picture |
Like a moth burned by the fire |
And driven to the flame |
(Prophecies' a blessing and a curse) |
I must bare this cross alone |
There’s no one else to blame |
With each treasure found |
Another shipwreck’s washed ashore |
I am carried by the current |
On a slow and steady course |
Shed your light on me (shed your light on me) |
Be my eyes when I can’t see |
Shed your light on me (shed your light on me) |
Be my guide so I can see |
The bigger picture |
What if caught in a moment |
I get lost and can’t find my way |
What if all along I was wrong |
In every turn, in every way |
Would you talk me off the ledge |
Or let me take the fall |
Better to try and fail |
Then to never try at all |
You look but cannot see |
Talk but never speak |
You live but cannot breathe |
See but don’t believe |
Wounds that never heal |
A heart that cannot feel |
A dream that’s all too real |
A stare as cold as steel |
I’ve listened to the stories of resentment and disdain |
I’ve looked into the empty eyes of anger, fear, and shame |
I’ve taken blood from every stone |
And traveled every road |
When I see the distant lights illuminate the night |
Then I will know I am home |
