lyrics

I’ve Known This

Shield of the soldier you’ve carried by your side
Drink of this water until your cup runs dry
Would we plead for mercy, when mercy is the breath
That weaves in all things to carry me through death

(Chorus)
Whispering, I’ve known this
Whispering, I’ve known this

Years would I wander and ask you who I am
‘Till the tears of my children bring me back again
When the swan sings the madness suddenly dissolves
My dear the last song
Before the shadow falls

(Chorus)
Whispering, I’ve known this
Whispering, I’ve known this

Know the silence will take you
No one’s steering you off course
Know but one hand forsakes you
And Know that it’s been yours

Know there’s nothing to accomplish
We are being lived my friend
Grow my heart in paying homage
To it’s bliss again
My dreams were mended
When I set them free
They rose like eagles
And came right back to me.
