Standing on easterly shore
I watch boats pass under the expanse
That stretches across the water
Connecting to the distant other side
And I think about the boats
Standing on easterly shore
I watch boats pass under the expanse
That stretches across the water
Connecting to the distant other side
And I think about the boats
I met Jesus today underneath a bridge
We sat in the fire light of the burning refuge
Talking about sinning and salvation
What it feels like to bear the cross of expectation
And the freedom that comes from laying it down
Stretching her arms to the skies
she reaches with outstretched fingers
to try to touch the stars
that no matter how hard she tries
remain just out of reach
