I Come To You My Friend
I come to you, my friend
when there’s poison in the sea
and death is in the wind
then I come and I sing.
When red-winged blackbirds fall
and the ducks are washed ashore
and whales sound no more
then I come and I sing.
For singing is a way
of weeping in the soul
like the rain
like the rain
It waters every root
of hope I’ve ever known
so I can touch my world with love
once again.
I come to you, my friend,
like a tide pulled out to sea,
oh a caged bird set free,
oh i come and I sing.
I’ve visions fierce and bold
so I turn from altars old
to the fire in my soul
and I come and I sing.
For singing is a way
of weeping in the soul
like the rain
like the rain
It waters every root
of hope I’ve ever known
so I can touch my world with love
once again.
