Close in the Distance - Benjamin Antony James

Whispers falling silently drift on the wind

But I hear you

Our journey now a memory fading from sight

But I see you

Unbroken promises we made so long ago

You're still here

Unspoken requiem for the river of tears

Flowing winding toward eternal sea

And yet our hope remains

Guiding lighting the way

No time for mourning

Rises on a land reborn from the ashes

'Neath the heavens'

To sunset blood-red skies tranquil after the storm

Blessed shadow

Turning wending always night follows day

The sun will shine again

Walk on never look back

Through you we live

Tales of loss and fire and faith

Every word on our hearts engraved

In the dark you will not stray

Forge ahead till the end we pray
