lyrics

Good morning good morning a new day begins
Hoping and praying this is not the end
I thought I heard the gates of heaven close
I thought I heard God’s voice saying no

Everyday I’m walking back and forth along the floor
Visions disturb me I can’t think clear no more
I’m thinking I’m gonna die alone
I’m thinking I ain’t ever going home

I spend all my time alone and my thoughts change what I see
I’ve been so long with myself that I’m all I even dream
Reality is gone from my sight
My own mind has hidden all the light

Rain falls lightly on my window and I hear the steady sound
My tears strike the floor with a force that’s surely profound
But I thought I heard the gates of heaven close
I thought I heard God’s voice saying no

But today I saw a light appear in the corner of my room
I thought maybe an angel came to save me from my gloom
I’m hanging on to anything I can
I’m hoping that straws can hold a man

Then my lover’s voice calls to me its faint and hard to hear
I strain my ears to listen but no sound is louder than my fear
I wish I could believe what you say
I wish I could stop crying and be brave
I think I could believe what you say

I see myself in your eyes the way I used to be
Maybe stronger that’s a dream I hope to see
I’ll let you in and try one more time
I’ll search the horizon for a sign
I’ll search the horizon for a sign

Daniel Levi Goans North Carolina

Heeding to the winds and the waves on the Bay, BrotherStranger looks into the loneliest moments of human experience with a piercing gaze that weaves them into a place of tenderness and safety. These meditations are nestled in a poetic cadence that resists modern cynicism and fragmentation while harkening to a place in our hearts and our heritage that recognizes the sacred nature of narrative. ... more
