Hold Up the Sky
HOLD UP THE SKY
When the nights are starless and the days cloudy
Journey through vale of life isn’t what it’s meant to be
When the flowers turn pallid and the trees brown
On barren garden trail in secret tears of toil hopes drown.
When the road you travel is sorely long and the time finite
At the end of the dark tunnel of turmoil don’t see the light
When you’re in the wasteland in stormy nights of destiny
The splintered sky is falling all around you, you sadly see.
Without questioning the supreme designer and His ways
Wait for the glitter of the starry nights and the sunny days
Without complaint take the transient time of His as it is
Wait for the spring of the smiling flowers and the green trees.
If under falling sky your broken dreams lie in dejected debris
Travel within, search the soul and the divine light you’ll see
Surrender totally to His power, His will you devoutly comply
And you’ll get the inner strength you need to hold up the sky.
