"The Song of a Passionate Heart

"The Song of a Passionate Heart

 

Something keeps calling us:

familiar and yet far away;

something we cannot name.

Something the soul canít even say.

 

It fills us with a vague longing

AÝ hunger that will not relent

a 'wanting' for somethingÝ undisclosed

we cannot identify this sense of discontent,

 

You don't know what it is you want,'

'but it fairly makes your heart ache,

you know want it oh so much.'

But you donít know what it will take

 

"The wanting draws us on,

promising us that satisfies

Ýhappiness lie just ahead,

filling us with restless lies,

 

keeping us on the move.

Yet when we arrive

Looking for that living proof

we cannot restÝ to save our lives

 

Into the flame, into the light

Out of the darkness, out of the night

Marvelous saviour, wonderful guide

Light up my life till in glory I hide.
