Rise in Joy

A.D-BLESSEM…. (amen)

Static hums like a distant storm,

I traced the noise but it took my form,

Every crackle a step I misplaced,

Every echo a ghost I chased.

The compass spun like a child’s top,

North was a lie I couldn’t stop,

But the wrong turns wrote my name,

In crooked lines I’d claim.

(oh yeah, come on)

Oh, lost is just the long way home,

Through the fray where the signals groan,

A lighthouse flickers in the haze,

Weaving light from the disarray.

(long way home, yes it

is)

Now the chaos sings in minor keys,

A symphony of scraped-up knees,

But the noise that tore me apart,

Is the pulse that starts my heart.

I let the static fill my chest,

Till the silence did the rest,

Every shadow showed the

way,

To where the light refused to fade.

(yeah, light refused to fade,

come on)

Oh, lost is just the long way home,

Through the fray where the signals groan,

A lighthouse flickers in the haze,

Weaving light from the disarray.

(sing it,

oh yes,

weaving light)

The glitch resolves to a steady tone,

A frequency that’s all my own,

The broken paths begin to gleam,

Like fragments stitching back the dream.

(stretching back, amen)

Oh, lost is just the long way home,

Every crack a seed that’s sown,

The twisted threads begin to glow,

A tapestry from what I let go.

(hallelujah, oh I let go,

yeah)
