"The Black Swing" lyrics

I am so far down the road
But I see so far up ahead
And I'm still standing
You are so close, too close to hold
And I have lost my heavy load
But I'm still burdened

You are so much in my heart
And I am longing to do my part
I am learning
We have dined among the kings
All of the wealth that the world can bring
I was thirsty
So dry in my heart
Ceaseless longing here in my heart
O mighty river

I am blinded by the sun
I am blinded by the sun
And now I'm burning
I see soldiers in retreat
Brothers dancing out in the street
With a turning
Spring from the desert sand
I see spring water flowing in the desert sand
Though I am hopeful

I am so far down the road
But I see so far up ahead
And I'm standing

I do believe I'm learning
