lyrics

Why so sad, Dear Soul?
Deep in the longing and your thirst
And I remember
Walking midst the crowds in the streets
All toward the house with dancing feet
And the procession was all
All’s a festival
Now all thy billows and thy waves have washed over me
Carrying a wound in my body
So many whispers in my ears
Oh I long for other years
Why so sad, Dear soul
The wastelands have an end
Ye shall praise again

Why so sad, Dear Soul?
Deep calls to deep in the swirl
And I remember
Walking midst you all upon the stones
Singing as though everywhere was home
The procession was all
All’s a festival
Now all thy billows and thy waves have washed over me
Cataracts crashing o’er my body
My tears have been my food
But theres a song that calls from you
Why so sad, Dear soul?
These wastelands have an end
Ye shall praise again
