Sometimes I wonder
Are we lighting ourselves on fire
What’s the answer
When the questions seem all wrong
Why are we fighting
When we could be helping each other
Why don’t we bother
Or even try to get along
Take my hand and we will make it out of the night together
Pressing on until we reach the other side of forever
Dear God make me a bird so I can fly away
On the back of the wind so far above the fray
To the cleft of the rock where I can watch and pray
Oh God give me the grace to face another day
Well I keep wondering
Do we know what we are after
Or are we sinking
In an endless stormy sea
Where is the lighthouse
Cause all these waves keep hitting harder
Lord, lift us higher
For only then will we be free
Take my hand and we will make it out of the night together
Pressing on until we reach the other side of forever
Dear God make me a bird so I can fly away
On the back of the wind so far above the fray
To the cleft of the rock where I can watch and pray
Oh God give me the grace to face another day
Oh, God I’ve been seeing that this world keeps falling apart before my very eyes
Through the pain I feel the beating of my broken and bleeding heart reaching for the skies
