Learning To Fall

Oh mournful winter day Tears wash our skin away Darkness brings light underneath Rain washes smiles off the grief Clouds of sorrow, a looking glass Awakening shadows of the past Oh heavy eyes, how you see Touching the deepest part of me The weight of a dying world A scarred and fallen world Silence of the void Strength of arm destroyed All because you cry Weary in your disguise An open-heart caught away Held back by delay In a pause begins to weep Blood not flowing is made to seep From my chest, a falling stone Apart from me, it dwells alone Aver deeper, ever falling Deepest oceans crags are calling Lowest depths, greatest heights Far away on an endless flight My head is tied above the ground A greater love above is found Oh wandering soul, where do you go? Where does the wind carry you? Drifting slow within the flow Lost to find what is true Held inside a body of earth One day you will have new birth One day not held back by lies Free from a thinly veiled disguise Tell me how to let you free Open my eyes, let me see Beauty lies beyond mere hands As a desert is more than dying sand Yet in this world is needed rain Grow a heart to smell its pain To each man, a broken part Blooming in the presence of sincere hearts Even a lily pulled from the ground Will grow to beauty once earth is found Ever dying, ever crying A heart must bear its scars Let to fly in the sky This rock becomes a star Mourning hearts turn to a drip My mind departs with one last sip God bless this heavy heart The sinking stone that pulled me apart Thankful to the weary sky Through his pain I’ve seen his eye I won’t forget his tears His heavy, healing tears
