Standing

I never heard the first bird

I never heard the first bird singing

I never heard the first bird sing

But you were there, standing

I never felt the wind blow

I never felt the wind blow over

I never felt the wind blow, no

But you were there, standing

Can’t find the words to say, but

Just as I feel afraid

As sure as the beat in my chest

You’re singing out

Color for skies of gray, and

Clear as a sunny day

Living in a newfound rest all the way, singing

I knew I’d miss the first step

I knew I’d miss the first step towards ya

And you knew I’d miss the first step too

But you were there, standing

Can’t find the words to say, but

Just as I feel afraid

As sure as the beat in my chest

You’re singing out

Color for skies of gray, and

Clear as a sunny day

Living in a newfound rest

I never saw the sunrise

I never saw the sunrise, ‘til today

I never saw that sunrise, Lord

But you were there, standing

Can’t find the words to say, but

Just as I feel afraid

As sure as the beat in my chest

You’re singing out love

Color for skies of gray, and

Clear as a sunny day

Living in a newfound rest all the way

Break a little new ground each and every day

I never saw that sunrise…

Can’t find the words to say, but

Just as I feel afraid

You’re singing out

You’re singing out love
