lyrics

And so, here we are again:
Talking past each other
In analogies,
To find out what
We don’t know.

We stare and stare and stare.
Images half blurred and cracked.
We step on in perfect
Blackness, sightless as the blind.

We pray, ‘Teach us to sit still,
To care and not to care,
‘Cause those wand’ring steps
Our parents took
Won’t lead home.

We stare and stare and stare,
Hoping now just to be found.
We’re found an seen and known,
Wishing now to only hide again.

But love is a conversion:
So suddenly a turn
To holy brilliance
Knocks you down off your feet,
knocks you down in blind belief.

We see the longing’s wake,
Led ing to what makes us whole.
We’re found and seen and known,
Nevermore to have to hide again.

Nevermore to have to hide again. (repeated)
