    Beyond the Blue

    Stand on the shores of a site unseen

    The substance of this dwells in me

    Cause my natural eyes only go skin deep 

    But the eye’s of my heart anchor the sea

    Plumbing the depths to the place in between

    The tangible world and the land of a dreams

    Because everything ain’t quite it seems

    There’s more beneath the appearance of things

    A beggar could be king within the shadows, 

    Of a wing

    And wisdom will honor everyone who will learn

    To listen, to love, and to pray and discern

    And to do the right thing even when it burns

    And to live in the light through treacherous turns

    A man is weak, but the spirit yearns

    To keep on course from the bow to the stearn

    And throw overboard every selfish concern

    That tries to work for what can’t be earned

    Sometimes the only way to return is to go, 

    Where the winds will take you

    And to let go, of all, you cannot hold onto

    For the hope, beyond,the blue

    Yellow and gold as the new day dawns

    Like a virgin unveiled who waited so long

    To dance and rejoice and sing her song

    And rest in the arms of a love so strong

    No one comes unless they’re drawn

    By the voice of desire that leads em’ along

    To the redemption of what went wrong

    By the blood that coveres the innocent one

    No more separation

    Between us.

    So lift your voice just one more time

    If there’s any hope may it be a sign

    That everything was made to shine

    Despite what you can see

    So take this bread and drink this wine

    And hide your spirit within the vine

    Where all things will work by a good design

    For those who will believe

    And let go, of all, we cannot hold onto

    For the hope, beyond, the blue

    Said I let go, of all, I could not hold onto

    For the hope, I have, in you
