lyrics

When I turned to look back
The sun had burned away the fog
And there along the tree line stood
A doe and her grazing fawn

In the dew wet grass as the morning passed,
Wild and silent shadows cast
Upon the waking meadow,
Living, breathing echoes
Of the voice that spoke creation into being
The voice that even still calls out to me

I couldn’t see it before
But true colors break through
In the light, in the light

I was cold and hardened
I was just too tired to care
Underneath a ceaseless burden
That I carried with me everywhere

But you saw me hurting and confused
Your words of grace, in brightest hues
Illuminated all my lurking fears
And it's hard to hear the truth,
But it’s something that I can’t afford to lose

I couldn’t see it before
But true colors break through
In the light, in the light

It can hurt, and it can heal
To finally understand what’s real
It might destroy the only life we knew
But then from the ground comes a tiny rebel sound
A seedling in the dark is breaking through

We couldn’t see it before
But now it towers above us
Basking in the light
In the light
