To Ascend Songtext / Lyric

Were you drifting on a strange tide

Collecting visions from the other side

Caught between day and night

You were stealing moments, passed hours of your life

And balancing on the edge of a knife



Memories of once longer days

They keep on floating by

The adventurous times when we traveled life's road

Though we were often blind

But with a lot more heart and for each other






Taking the time

On the weekend of prayer

A wounded bird in the hand

With the eyes of a child come to understand

I will open the book, raise the pen

Let it breathe in and vent my life again

Take me from where I am

As a freed bird flies from the hand

To ascend, to ascend



Were you catching the last train to nowhere

Playing out scenes of dark desert days

Put it behind you now

Call out those bleak shadows from your mind

And never again

Slip through the cracks



Memories of once longer days

They keep on floating by

The adventurous times when we traveled life's road

Though we were often blind

But with a lot more heart and for each other



Taking the time

On the weekend of prayer

A wounded bird in the hand

With the eyes of a child come to understand

I will open the book, raise the pen

Let it breathe in and vent my life again

Take me from where I am

As a freed bird flies from the hand
