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 here 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 each treacherous turn

a man is weak

but the spirit yearns

to keep on course from the bow to the stern

and to 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 to sing her song

and to 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 covered 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 in 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
