"Singing Lessons" lyrics

"Singing Lessons"

God of the rivers and the waterfalls
God of thunder and lightening
God of the plains and the mountains
Of rainbows and prairies
God of birth and death
Of love and hope

God of sun and moon
God of ocean tides
You, who drive the stars
You of perfect light
Teach me how to sing

And it came to pass on a cloudy night
That I found myself lost in the dark
And the wind blew cold and I was afraid
And if love were lost how would I live

You were like some mist in the fading light
And my broken dreams wept in the night
Where was all the love we had known before
In this sea of tears would I reach the shore

God of sun and moon
God of oceans tides
You, who drive the stars
You of perfect light
Teach me how to sing

I was on my knees, I was at the end
There was nothing left, I would never mend
When I heard a song in the waves that tossed
Death is not the end, there is nothing lost

God of sun and moon
God of ocean tides
You, who drive the stars
You of perfect light
Teach me how to sing

Music of the spheres through eternity
Say that through your tears you will always see
Say the more you lose that the more you own
And the more you love that the more you [Incomprehensible]
Say the pain you feel opens up your heart

Where the swallows flew there was once a cloud
Now the sun was bright and the river smiled
And I heard you say, "Death is just a dream
Make your songs again, you must always sing"

God of sun and moon
God of ocean tides
You, who drive the sun
You of perfect light
Teach me how to sing

God of everything
Teach me how to sing
God of everything
