Lyrics
I’ve felt the cold of slumber
Its numbing swathe
Its whispering hold of comfort
Its dark embrace
But I don’t wish its succour
Its painless death
Let me wake through the pain of life
Through the crucible of love
And let me call to mind
Your shining hand
And grasp with heart and soul
Toward the promised land
Eternal change and movement
With no return
Who am I that’s speaking now?
The same as yesterday?
No I am always growing
Ever leaving behind
Moving ever into newness
Through the crucible of love
