Into the Light of Day

Lying in the dark Three days all alone. Seems to me my heart Is cold and hard as stone. Don’t know if you’re coming Or you’re going your own way. Waiting for your gentle word To bring me back into the light of day. Silence all around me Still, I’m not concerned. Soon you will have found me And bid me to return. Everyone is listening To all that you might say. Waiting for your gentle word To bring me back into the light of day. Sisters stop your weeping. Brothers, don’t complain. It’s really just like sleeping And I can feel no pain. Though I am now hollow, A vessel to be filled, A miracle will follow I’ll rise and do your will. Lying in the empty Nothing else but space. Believe me, it is tempting My death to just embrace. Yet, I hear you calling And all will be okay. Waiting for your gentle word To bring me back into the light of day. Look at me, I’m rising At the power on display. Waiting for your gentle word To bring me back into the light of day.
