Thanks Again © 1997 RFRussell <— Back to CD indexOcean, Mother, I return Always finding more to learn Ever changing You remain Fill me with Your songs again Spirit, Father in the sky Looking out You fill my eyes Endless presence without name Words simply cannot explain So at the risk of repeating myself May I say, for one more day... Thanks again, amen Comes up a lot even now and then Thanks again, amen For the mountains and the rain For the angels and the pain For this journey I began So many years ago—thanks again For the fierce and wild storms All the fires that kept me warm The people dreamed and born In all the years we’ve known—again Who knew? Ain't no such thing as bad gratitude Who knew? How much here depends on attitude, attitude For the blessings and the fates For the walls and for the gates For all the errors and mistakes And schemes untold—thanks again For the sunlight off the water For the moon’s star-crossed daughter From a son's guiding father As the stories grow— Thanks again, amen Calling steady on my heart Teach me here before we part Constant sound is ever changing Roll me in Your waves again The stars above me shine tonight Sending us their distant light Everywhere are signs of You Over, under, ‘round and through |
