I heard hope in the chillest land
Sung it’s tune with crumbs in hand
I felt the birds give meaning to
An otherwise broken day
It made my knees draw slack and weak
I’d sound out words were I not so meek
Like sweetness, strangeness, warmth, and soul
I’m awash without a cause to pray
On an otherwise broken day
There was an ocean calm, there was a storm on land
We were justified to scrap all plans
Every darkness has a different look
Through the window of your gospel
Warmth comes to me when the sky is bleak
When the gray light chills your frozen cheek
It’s not hard to feel the weight of soul
When all reverie has been put on hold
All you can do, is listen to these pleasantly old-fashioned lyrics as we are left wondering about these brief encounters that Jake tells us. zhangtastic
