Randy Stonehill Album: Can't Buy A Miracle Track: Beyond The Veil
Beyond The Veil Lyrics
The fiber of this life is paper thin A spider's web can be torn by a shift in the wind And the mirror pool is shattered when you toss a pebble in
CHORUS: And I'm not afraid to admit that I'm afraid Bewildered by the great and the terrible way we're made Oh that my eyes could shed these scales I can almost make out the shape of a face Just beyond the veil
Questions crowd my heart and will not pass My prayers are lost in silence and the sky is like brass But I'll stay on my knees until my answer comes at last
CHORUS Closer to the flame We drink our cup of pain And it burns us to the bone In the fire we find a strength Greater than our own Than our own
