FATHER

What is this startling sorrow, father
This dark rain?
I feel the wound in my heart
Break open again
I can’t hold back this flood of tears
This river of pain
Can’t seem to find my way
Back home again

What is this wound father
This love without a face
This hidden touch
This dark grace?

Something is crying me father
Can’t see its face
Can’t hold its sorrow
In my embrace
Can’t hold back this flood of tears
This river of pain
Can’t seem to find my way
Back home again

What is this wound father
This love without a face
This hidden touch
This dark grace?

Something is crying me father
Think they’re crying in vain
My footprints lose their way
In the dark night rain
I’m too full of tears father
Too full of pain
Can’t seem to find my way
Back home again

What is this wound father
This love without a face
This hidden touch
This dark grace?
