lyrics

Strands of light reaching into the night
That touch on shadows out of sight
Never knowing what lies ahead
We choose these paths down which we tread
Reaching out as though I’m blind
To touch on spirits of like kind
Love is hard when you don’t know how
Love is always there if you try somehow

Chorus
Thunder booms and lightning strikes around me
My lightning rods are grounded in eternity
I want to look through eyes the way my children see
Standing there I saw your shadow in the hallway
Calling you I lost the words I meant to say
I ask that I might find them every day I pray

I hear your voice there is no word
It’s a fearful song from a flightless bird
You once had wings you were high and strong
You fought the winds of time too long
Past events hang in review
And no one knows what it is to be you
Uttered words from the past still hurt
Only loving hands can wash away the dirt

Chorus

I’ve lost track of where we’ve been
I ask forgiveness for my sin
Where there’s love there is no fear
And loving words I long to hear
This night will pass there will be light
And some good things are worth the fight
Find yourself some solid ground
Then stand tall on what you’ve found

Chorus

Love is near
I can feel it stretch my face from ear to ear
Come to me here
I’ve been feeling it grow inside from year to year
The sun’s been shining down upon my face
It’s been shining light upon the human race
Sometime this world can seem so full of hate
And I catch myself just thinking it’s too late
Love is near
Come to me here
Love is near, love is near

Love is Near, love is near...
