Just Before Dawn
Seeking Redemption: A Journey Through Just Before Dawn
Lyrics
just before dawn
At the moment right before sunrise
I cross the harbor
I traverse the harbor
the tinctures and cures
Referring to potions and remedies
in my song bag
In my collection of songs
just as I'm climbing out
As I'm leaving
the ferryman's voice cries out
The ferryman's voice interrupts
and I settle up my account
I settle my debts
just before dawn
Just before sunrise
I set up my wares
I arrange my goods
before the fairground
Before the fair begins
shake a few hands
Shake hands and offer goodwill
extend good will
some wanderers take the bait
Some travelers are enticed
for a moment I hesitate
I briefly hesitate
for I know they'll be back again
Knowing they will return
just before dawn
Just before sunrise
I just want
I desire
to feel God's love
To experience God's love
like anyone
Similar to anyone
who walks this land
Who walks this land
the out of town folk
Outsiders perceive me as a healer
say I'm a healer
Yet, I aspire to heal myself
but I just want
to heal myself
-I know I am not the first
Acknowledging I'm not the first
to try and do God's good work
To attempt God's work
here on this long lost earth
In this forgotten world
just before dawn
Just before sunrise
