Heart of Wonder - Andrew Combs

I have run through the valley

I have stormed the shore

Dug my fingers in fields of fortune

But never found what I’m looking for

The wind it winds through skies of plunder

Followed the signs for the heart of wonder

I have held holy close to my heart

Cursed my bended knees

Quoted many knowing minds

Lines I’ve read but I’ve yet to believe

Words they numb this pain and hunger

But nothing cures my heart of wonder

What moves in the long limbed grasses?

What shadows the spirit catches

What will be waiting when we’re gone?

I have heard Heaven’s marching song

Sung it word for word

Chased the blood of angel tongue s

Strained my lungs just to be heard

Still I hear it in the distant thunder

Just out of reach for the heart of wonder

Heart of wonder
