Strange Waters - Bruce Cockburn
I've seen a high cairn kissed by holy wind Seen a mirror pool cut by golden fins Seen alleys where they hide the truth of cities The madders blessing you miles to accept without pity I've stood in airports guarded glass and chrome Walked rifled roads and landmined loam Seen a forest in flames right down to the road Burned in love till I've seen my heart explode You've been leading me Beside strange waters Across the concrete fields of man Sun ray like a camera pans Some will run and some will stand Everything is bullshit but the open hand You've been leading me Beside strange waters Streams of beautiful lights in the night But where is my pastureland in these dark valleys? If I loose my grip, will I take flight? You've been leading me Beside strange waters Streams of beautiful lights in the night But where is my pastureland in these dark valleys? If I loose my grip, will I take flight
