Dave Herring - Sacred Song Lyrics

I walk the path of the poet
I scale the mountains of the human heart
Wade in the river that's flowing over me
I listen for the echoes
Down in the canyon of our deepest doubts
Hide in the forest as it grows over me

To some this may sound like noise
It's hard to tune your ears to an unfamiliar voice

I've got words to say, and things you need to hear.

Hold onto this promise, I'll make it very clear
Hold your hesitations and forgo all your fears
I'll speak the truth and I'll never do you wrong
Every lyric on my heart is a sacred song

I carry the burdens of my brothers
I seal all the secrets of my sisters too
Watching and waiting for the tide to roll its sleeves
I petition every moment
Begging it to show me what life really means
Inch after it while I follow patiently

It certainly can take a lot of time
To learn to trust your heart and put aside your mind

If my song is truth does it have meaning?
If my song is fiction is it a lie?
If my words are easy, will you then listen?
Will you turn it up or let it pass by?
