At the Heart of Me
Journey of Love and Longing: At the Heart of Me
Lyrics
I could fly away
I have the option to escape or leave.
Leave for good today
Leaving permanently today is a possibility.
To a new world somewhere far beyond
Considering a new world far beyond the current one.
Or you could set sail
Another person can embark on a journey.
For the sun's fading trail
Heading toward the sun's fading trail.
And I could watch you till you're gone
I would watch until the person is gone.
But it wouldn't matter now
Regardless, it doesn't matter now.
No it couldn't change what I see
It cannot change what I perceive.
If a thousand miles lay between us today
Even if a thousand miles separate us today.
You're still at the heart of me
You remain at the core of who I am.
If your face can't be
If your presence is absent,
Ever here before me
I can still keep you in my thoughts.
I can always hold you in my mind
Living in the past where memories persist.
And live in the past
Even your absence becomes more real with time.
Your ghost gave up at last
Your essence persists beyond time.
More real now than passing time
More tangible than the fleeting nature of time.
But it wouldn't matter now
Despite the circumstances, it doesn't matter now.
It couldn't change what I see
No change to my perception.
If a thousand miles lay between us today
Even with a vast distance today,
You're still at the heart of me
You're still integral to me.
Time's been a shroud
Time has obscured my understanding.
And it's left me confused
Confusion remains due to the passage of time.
Surrendered to pain in the name of a truth
Suffering for a truth that spoke of potential loss.
That sang in my ear all that I stood to lose
A truth that emphasized what could be lost.
Come what may
Regardless of the challenges that come.
Our faith is a well
Our faith is a deep well.
And down deep I can tell
I sense a profound thirst within me.
I'm as thirsty as a mortal can be
Thirsty for understanding like any mortal.
Silence abounds
Silence prevails and resonates.
And it's ringing through town
Ringing through the town like a bell.
Like a bell swinging high over me
High above, like a swinging bell.
And it wouldn't matter now
Despite everything, it doesn't matter now.
No it couldn't change what I see
No change to my perception.
If a thousand miles lay between us today
Even with a thousand miles today,
You're still at the heart of me
You remain at the core of who I am.
If a thousand miles lay between us today
Even if a thousand miles separate us today,
You're still at the heart of me
You're still integral to me.
