lyrics

The people emerged to remark at your birth
though the story'd been near told to death
and folks of all kinds - by you, of one mind -
had come to put this lostness to rest

and they all then agreed
this was fruit of a seed
that their vision had come to be

and traveling hearts far from familiar parts
left with spirits lifted up and free

when they arrived at home your song was all their own
and it flew from their lips like a bird
and they rose up each day in a new kind of way
all shocked that the world hadn't heard

and they swayed in the fields
dancing under your shield
the night sky a new found friend

and the lovers all burned with the love that they'd learned
and forgot that the world might end

when the rain broke through they nodded and knew
this must be part of some plan
but when the floods grew quick
and blurred the small creek
some wondered at the grace of your hand

and some grew affright
lost their nerves for the night
and others felt pale and blue

so I got up and sang and the room all a-rang
and the hope that you'd brought spoke anew
