On the Way

Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

...but the water keeps on falling from my eyes

the cure for pain---yes, friend or two, another jon foreman lyric.
i don't have the energy to blog much (at least not anything of any real substance)--but i am doing some journaling and that can be therapeutic.

I'm not sure why it always flows downhill
Why broken cisterns never could stay filled
I've spent ten years singing gravity away
But the water keeps on falling from the sky

And here tonight while the stars are blacking out
With every hope and dream I've ever had in doubt
I've spent ten years trying to sing these doubts away
But the water keeps on falling from my eyes

And heaven knows... heaven knows
I tried to find a cure for the pain
Oh my Lord! to suffer like you do...
It would be a lie to run away

So blood is fire pulsing through our veins
We're either riders or fools behind the reigns
I've spent 10 years trying to sing it all away
but the water keeps on falling from my tries
