a quiet song

have you ever heard a song, and you knew you have to listen to it again, because that song wasn't just music and lyrics, but it came with a lot of feelings, thoughts, and even memories. i've once written before how certain songs represent a certain period of my life, so when i listen to those songs again, it is not surprising that it will bring back certain memories, but sometimes, like time like this, it's a song i have never heard before.

In and out of dream
Searching for an answer
Who was I meant to be
Worlds apart from here
Longing for the day
In fear of endless night
Save this lonely heart of mine
When I could not hear
You taught my heart to listen
Song of hope filled my soul
Long before you’d sung them
Learning like a child
To see with eyes wide open
Born again through faith and endless love

After all these years
You still stand here right beside me
Not a moment of regret
Forgiving me this promise
Never letting go
Through the rain and stormy weather
In your love I’ve finally found
My shelter

With a love so strong
Choices made so sacred
Who can judge right or wrong?
Seems no longer matter
When our lives are through
The heavens as our witness
Every step worth taken was with you

After all these years
You still stand here right be

side me
Not a moment of regret
Forgiving me this promise
Never letting go
Through the rain and stormy weather
In your love I’ve finally found
My shelter

After all these years
While you stood here right beside me
How I longed to give you back
All the love that I’d been hiding
Thank you for the tears
Every drop you shed in waiting
In your arm I’ve finally found
My haven
