Farther Along and Further In

Farther along and further in I've never gone, I've never been But I feel a shift, a turning in I've never felt before Farther along and further in There's a crack in the armor, an opening My heart seeing out, and my eyes see in But they've never seen before What I chased that couldn't be caught Wars I lost I shouldn't have fought Everything that can't be taught Farther along and further in I think I'm finally listening To some kind of spirit murmuring I've never heard before Hold the world and trust the wait The road back home is never straight Bang the drum and keep the faith Time, memory, love and grace The kindred eyes in a strangers face Lead down to the deeper place Farther along and further in We're atoms and stardust circling Catching the light, then we're gone again Farther along and further in
