There are Some Things ( Psalm 164)

There are Some Things ( Psalm 164)

When he finally sees the storm clouds pass,
How's he gonna take the clear blue sky?
When he finally has an answer to what he's always asked,,
How's he gonna feel how to fly?

When he finally hears the "yes" that's never come before,
How's it gonna feel to walk through the door,
That's been closed so tight  for so long  O Lord,
  How's it gonna feel how to fly?
 
There are some things i may never know
Some things always seem  just out of reach
No matter how strong the calling may feel,
Some things remain a  mystery
 
When the calling isn't  clear
  it  makes him bitter and weak
What was meant to grow his  faith
only seems to make it shrink
 
The thing that's so hard,  is the carrot on the string,
that keeps dangling before his heart, and  keeps him in the dream.
 
He lives in the mystery and hopes,
that some way he'll find  how to cope,,
with the silence that he swallows in his bed late at night,
God, it's so damn dry in his throat!

There are some things i may never know
Some things always seem just out of reach
No matter how strong the calling may feel,
Some things remain a  mystery.

But he keeps on, cause he's gotta keep on,
Cause' he knows the song, and as long as there's a song,,
he'll keep  waiting...
