When - The Call

The truth can change a man

In the wisdom of his days

It whispers soft but constantly

You cannot live this way

For deceitful words are costly

And actions even worse

The abuse that has been suffered here

From childhood laid its course

How will I know you?

What will you look like?

When does the dream end?

When will the sun arise?

Where does the line form?

Where does the wheel turn?

How will I know you?

When will we ever learn?

We witness not a fallen world

But falling everyday

And nature joins our great descent

With quakes and hurricanes

But I’ll meet you on the stormy sea

And I’ll hold the winds at bay

We’ll pull the oars inside the boat

And gently drift away

How will I know you?

What will you look like?

When does the dream end?

When will the sun arise?

Where does the line form?

Where does the wheel turn?

How will I know you?

When will we ever learn?

The past lies in slumber

The future, no claims

The present is ours

Cleaned by the rain

My pockets have emptied

But my heart overflows

Consumed in the fire of love’s fearless power

How I long for your face in that great final hour

Once I spoke in riddles

But now I speak it plain

The tears of God are pouring down

In remembrance of that day

So let the children fly

And question all they see

They’ll grow up wise and penetrate

The life that lives unseen

How will I know you?

What will you look like?

When does the dream end?

When will the sun arise?

Where does the line form?

Where does the wheel turn?

How will I know you?

When will we ever learn?

How will I know you?

What will you look like?

When does the dream end?

When will the sun arise?

Where does the line form?

Where does the wheel turn?

How will I know you?

When will we ever learn?
