words alone
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
