Are you singing
Now that your prayers are answered?
Is it for merriment and angelic choirs?
You’ve risen to the highest bough
And now
You can defy what is known
And soar through the night and the rain
You can sing at sunset
You can bathe in the Sargasso Sea
Or does sorrow yet plague you
Because you see us still searching for our diamonds here in
the dreck?
Do you yearn to reach us again with your warmth?
With your voice
You healed our battered wings
With your words
You beat back our fears
With your life
You told us
That we, too, would rise
The cage door is open.
Go and breathe in the day
And watch your smile shimmering in the sun
As you rise above the river.
You can sing softly at midnight
When fears and doubts take wing,
You can sing us songs
Of heaven’s dawn
That carry us through our dark days,
Or you can rest.
Listen as heaven sings praise
To a weary soul at rest.
You are the reason
And the song.
