Eternity

Do you often ask a question,
you don’t know the answer to?
Like why the grass is green
or why the sky is blue?
Do the answers ever satisfy
your curiosity?
Have you studied little flowers
and marveled at what you’ve seen?

Is there something you’re reaching for,
something you desire?
Do you want to slay the dragons,
with your little heart on fire?
Do you gaze upon the clouds
and slip outside of time?
But fear you don’t amount to much,
like a nickel with the dimes?

Do you know that something is missing?
Does it ever make you sad?
Do your dreams keep you up at night
because you want it so bad?
Do you have an ache within
that the cookie jar can’t undo?
Does your heart hold a fairy tale,
you fear will never come true?

Well I don’t have all the answers,
but I know a thing or two
The something that you’re searching for
is calling out to you
The deep things call to deep,
this hunger isn’t for food
The questions point to answers,
your heart is being wooed

Someone is in the details,
He has been there all along
He is strong when you are weak
and gives a brand new song
His invisible qualities are seen,
you can hear without a sound
He can fill your heart with greater joy
than when new wine abounds

I don’t know how deep the ocean goes
or when time got its start
But I know that you wonder
because eternity was set in your heart
Well I don’t have all the answers,
but there’s one thing I must tell you
Forever does exist
where wildest dreams come true
