Trickle Down

Trickle down onto these burdened shoulders 
the life and the light of love fulfilled 
tenderly kiss these dry parched lips 
that speak of stories old and marvelous wonders 

Trickle down onto me with your all-giving grace 
and save me from the things in that darkest place 
I hear and I see 
but I can only be 
a man whose soul is tired and worn 

Trickle down o' great and beautiful 
your mercy so bright and bounding 
I am yours greatest spirits of Time and Art 
I stand so proud and true
