The Pearl |
| O the dragons are gonna fly tonight |
| They’re circling low and inside tonight |
| It’s another round in the losing fight |
| Out along the great divide tonight |
| We are aging soldiers in an ancient war |
| Seeking out some half remembered shore |
| We drink our fill and still we thirst for more |
| Asking if there’s no heaven what is this hunger for? |
| Our path is worn our feet are poorly shod |
| We lift up our prayer against the odds |
| And fear the silence is the voice of God |
| And we cry Allelujah Allelujah |
| We cry Allelujah |
| Sorrow is constant and the joys are brief |
| The seasons come and bring no sweet relief |
| Time is a brutal but a careless theif |
| Who takes our lot but leaves behind the grief |
| It is the heart that kills us in the end |
| Just one more old broken bone that cannot mend |
| As it was now and ever shall be amen |
| And we cry Allelujah Allelujah |
| We cry Allelujah |
| So there’ll be no guiding light for you and me We are not sailors lost out on the sea |
| We were always headed toward eternity |
| Hoping for a glimpse of Gaililee |
| Like falling stars from the universe we are hurled |
| Down through the long loneliness of the world |
| Until we behold the pain become the pearl |
| Cryin Allelujah Allelujah |
| We cry Allelujah |
| And we cry Allelujah Allelujah |
| We cry Allelujah |
