Higher Wisdom - Ferron

Was it in your higher wisdom that you turned your light from me

Or was it just your sense of humor that for a moment I should see

In that darkness was I weeping In that silence sadly free

Now I'm waiting in your valley to be standing on your mountain

That I might tumble down your hillside to a place that waits for me.

From a time I dare to mention I was shown the broken line
In this world of good intentions the cruelest love can seem so kind
And you may harbor quiet sorrow but to speak it is the crime
And so I'm waiting in your valley to be standing on your mountain
That I might tumble down your hillside to a place that waits for me.

I am soldier without country having laid my guns to rest
I am Time without the notion You could say I floundered with the best
I have followed after hunger and I watched my wants infest
Now I'm waiting in your valley to be standing on your mountain
That I might tumble down your hillside to a place that waits for me.

I have asked so many people what the spark of life might be
But they bade me not to ask for more than the muted heart could be
And though they posed me many faces all but one I could not see
And so I'm waiting in your valley to be standing on your mountain
That I might tumble down your hillside to a place that waits for me.

If you've got a long road Take it with a light load
Spirit let your love come through Give it everything you could
Take back everything that's good Spirit let your love come down.
