Night falls and my heart gets weary and cold
Highs and lows take me to the kingdom of old
I am the epic that has not been told
And I see the future is yet to unfold
Daylight pushes the turmoil out of sight
Now that the messenger has brought the light
I'm the hummingbird that took his flight
And I see the northern stars shine so bright
Shadows of this fleeting world speak my name
And I fall, yes I fall for that old game
But I know deep inside I'm the same
And the game that gets me is much too lame
Silenced—I'm the rock that withstood every wave
But now that your eyes pierce me I crumble into the sea
And my song changes color like the autumn leaves
And so may the arrows of Thy love find me
