One Great Cry - Carrie Newcomer

A thousand cry out in wonder

A million pray «God could you give us a sign?»

It’s a heavy burden we’re under

If you carry yours, I’ll carry mine

How fine, how sweet the sound

When I lay these sorrows and this poor heart down

Hope that always found me

I was blind but now I see

We are no more than a moment

We’re forever and ever and that’s a fact

In joy and hope and hunger

In words and deeds we can’t take back

How fine, how sweet the sound

When I lay these sorrows and this poor heart down

Hope that always found me

I was blind but now I see

Where do we go from here

And what does it mean

Is there some perfect madness or faith

That believes in what can’t be seen

How fine, how sweet the sound

When I lay these sorrows and this poor heart down

Hope that always found me

I was blind but now I see

So hold out your hand like altars

We are meant to be here

And we are meant to ask why

If only to rise and to falter

If only to give out one great cry

How fine, how sweet the sound

When I lay these sorrows and this poor heart down

Hope that always found me

I was blind but now I see
