Somewhere between earth and the sky



Sometimes nothing and no one can can bring my heart any rest
I long for what is past, what I couldn't and what is lost
Sometimes my heart with love so swells I cannot wait I cannot stop
High up it soars without a shade of doubt
As if I had just begun as though it was just the start
Sometimes I can hardly walk, sometime I fly
Somewhere I stand between the earth and the sky

Grounded by my fears, bound by my thought I can hardly move
Weighed down by guilt, I count all my loss
All my follies, all my shame, hold me there and still
Through the thick veil of doubt the road ahead I barely see
Then for no reason at all, I recall, I remember it all
All that I have learned, All that I can see
All that I may become, All that I can start
The days of my deeds are done, I stand high above it all
Looking down I can only laugh
At how with strings of thoughts I tie-up myself in many knots
Sometimes I laugh sometimes I cry
Somewhere I stand between the earth and the sky

As I rush through my days, towards some promise high
I am stopped by a moment of endless grace
This is the end, this is end
My heart is sure, it won't pretend
I wonder if it's true and why?
Somewhere I stand between the earth and the sky

At times I wonder at these bonds so strange
They hold me close won’t let me go
Sometimes I helplessly watch all pass me by
Sometimes I wish 
Sometimes in gratitude I lie
Somewhere I stand between the earth and the sky

Have I come here to unlearn or to learn anew
Have I come here to be or to become
Have I come here to see or to do
Have I been here forever or am I passing through
Have I risen from the earth or come from some place high
Somewhere I stand between the earth and the sky
