I. Perhaps

from VII Psalms Project by Emily Haas

lyrics

Perhaps my dreams weren’t big enough
Perhaps my mouth went dry
Perhaps the words escaped my lips
But no one heard me cry.

Perhaps your father’s sick of work
Perhaps your brother’s blind
I walked for hours aimlessly
And no one seemed to mind.

I walked for hours aimlessly
And no one seemed to mind.

I showed up late to work one day
And no one asked me why
And through the window next to me
I caught a stranger’s eye.

She lingered there a moment passed
She mouthed the words, “goodbye”
Then disappeared so carefully
Into the western sky

Then disappeared so carefully
Into the western sky.

And I heard it once said
That heaven’s all around
And one day when we’re older
We’ll leave this tired ground.

Come see the things they’ve found!

I wait for the alter
I sing for the lamb
I keep my eyes open,
Or at least the best I can

So, yes dreams my dreams weren’t big enough
And yes, my mouth went dry
I kept the words internally
But someone heard me cry

I kept the words internally
But someone heard me cry.
