Where Is It Written? Songtext / Lyric

God, our merciful Father

I'm wrapped in a robe of light

Clothed in Your glory

That spreads its wings over my soul

May I be worthy, Amen



There's not a morning I begin without

A thousand questions running through my mind

That I don't try to find the reason

And the logic in the world that God designed



The reason why a bird was given wings

If not to fly and praise the sky

With every song it sings

What's right or wrong, where I belong

Within the scheme of things



And why have eyes that see and arms that reach

Unless you're meant to know there's something more

If not to hunger for the meaning of it all

Then tell me what a soul is for?






Why have the wings unless you're meant to fly

And tell me please, why have a mind

If not to question why?



And tell me where

Where is it written what it is I'm meant to be?

That I can't dare

To have the chance to pick the fruit of every tree



Or have my share

Of every sweet imagined possibility?

Just tell me where, tell me where?



If I were only meant to tend the nest

Then why does my imagination sail

Across the mountains and the seas

Beyond the make-believe of any fairy tale



Why have the thirst if not to drink the wine?

And what a waste to have a taste

Of things that can't be mine



And tell me where

Where is it written what it is I'm meant to be?

That I can't dare

To find the meanings in the mornings that I see



Or have my share

Of every sweet imagined possibility

Just tell me where, where is it written

Tell me where, or if it's written anywhere?
