lyrics

when I wake, oh my soul
to the morning sweet
I can hear the humble ground
rumbling an ancient sound

when I climb, oh my soul
into holy trees
I can see the highway rise
up into the golden skies

how I long for you
search for you in a crowd
as I wade through the masses, I look up
and I'll never look down

foreign words and a psalm in my mouth
hope like honey sweet on this scroll I eat
dust and seeds, ever all I shall be
and the body weeps, but the soul shall sing

when I cry, oh my soul
like a lonesome dove
spring is coming on again
I can feel it on my skin

when I dance, oh my soul
to the sound of you
playing on a thunder drum
giving that ol' harp a strum

how I long for you
search for you in a crowd
as I wade through the masses
I look up, and I never look down
