Something's lost
A grief without a name
Stillborn glory
Of a kingdom never came
Fairest dreams
Fall so far from finding
The source of hope
That wounds with each reminding
Can you know the sun only by its shadow?
Can you know a dream only by wishing it true?
Can you know a song only heard in silence?
Can you know someone who's hidden their face
From you?
How to speak
Of this great and groaning absence?
How to tell
Of a sorrow known so well?
How to chart
This unrelenting distance?
How to hope
For home from a prison cell?
Lord, would you make me to thirst
Born of desire
Lord, would you make me to thirst,
Only to withhold the water?
