THE STREAM
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED, SITTING BY A STREAM
THE WORDS SOFTLY SPOKEN, AS IF IN A DREAM.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHATS EXPRESSED, AS IF A FOREIGN LANGUAGE SAID
BUT IF YOU LISTEN CLOSELY, YOU WILL BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND
YOUR EYES HELD CLOSED TIGHTLY, YOURS EARS THEY DO SENSE
THESE WORDS OF IMPORTANCE SPOKEN, FROM HEAVEN THEY WERE SENT.
WHISPERS FROM THE LORD, TO YOU HE ONLY SPEAKS
OF ONE THING HE REPEATS OVER, JUST TO YOU FROM HIS CREEK.
HE'S TELLING YOU THAT HE LOVES YOU, HE'S TELLING YOU THE TRUTH
THAT IF YOU'D ONLY LISTEN, HIS REALITY WOULD COME TRUE.
NOW I SIT AND WONDER, WHY HE PICKED THIS STREAM
OR IS THAT HE'S ALWAYS SPEAKING, AND THE STREAM IS JUST A DREAM.
