Earthquake
Gone away with all my wishful thinking
The ways of innocent dreaming
That once brought me close to you
They tore me away after tasting that simple truth
But, I’m not giving up
Cause, that’s not who I’ve grown into
It passed far beyond my expectations
The burning sun breaking the snow horizon
From atop the mountain my heart arose from hiding
The clarity of hope soaked my soul
And, I awoke
Alive and breathing
Hallelujah, I never knew how much an earthquake could move
Hallelujah, I never knew a valley could kiss the moon
Or, that a soul could rise so high after falling into the thick and dark gloom
Now, some might call it “a new beginning”
But to the forgotten, it’s just remembering
And, I’m just now finding my feet
Learning again how to walk and let my own heart speak
And, now I know
Hope is just a turn of a leaf away
If I were a betting man
Would I bet on you and me
Roll the die against misery
And, hold the hope that eternity knows
The outcome its fate controls
Hallelujah, I never knew how much an earthquake could prove
Hallelujah, I never knew a valley could kiss the moon
Or, that a soul could rise so high after falling into the thick and dark gloom
