Heart of Wonder

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 whines, through skies of plunder
Follow 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
Strained my lungs, all to be heard

Still I hear it in the distant thunder
Just out of reach for the heart of wonder
