Song Lyrics

When I'm afraid of dying ashamed
Of never doing what I'm here for
I'm afraid of being afraid
And wasting precious time
I'm afraid of growing so cold
Closing off to love inside me
I'm afraid of just getting old
But never getting wise

Here tonight
A storm of another kind
Where's the light I have known, have known?
Your lightning strikes
Born of another time
Across these years, you have shone, by your words alone
By your words alone
By your words alone

I don't even know how it starts
Too much fretting and forgetting
Something switches off in my heart
And leaves me to my mind
So I'm reaching for your words in the dark
To bring you here to shine your wisdom
All it takes is one sudden spark
To leave this fear behind

Here tonight
A storm of another kind
Where's the light I have known, I have known?
Your lightning strikes
Born of another time
Across these years, you have shone, by your words alone
By your words alone
By your words alone
By your words alone

You blaze this sacred trail I find

Here tonight
A storm of another kind
Where's the light I have known, I have known?
Your lightning strikes
Born of another time
Across these years, you have shone, by your words alone
By your words alone
By your words alone
