"Dante's
Prayer"
When the dark
wood fell before me
And all the paths
were overgrown
When the priests
of pride say there is no other way
I tilled the
sorrows of stone
I did not believe
because I could not see
Though you came
to me in the night
When the dawn
seemed forever lost
You showed me
your love in the light of the stars
Cast your eyes on
the ocean
Cast your soul to
the sea
When the dark
night seems endless
Please remember
me
Then the mountain
rose before me
By the deep well
of desire
From the fountain
of forgiveness
Beyond the ice
and fire
Cast your eyes on
the ocean
Cast your soul to
the sea
When the dark
night seems endless
Please remember
me
Though we share
this humble path, alone
How fragile is
the heart
Oh give these
clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face
of the stars
Breathe life into
this feeble heart
Lift this mortal
veil of fear
Take these
crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above
these earthly cares
Cast your eyes on
the ocean
Cast your soul to
the sea
When the dark
night seems endless
Please remember
me
Please remember
me

I've had that disc with that song in rotation in my ride for about
2 wks. She writes some beautiful
music. Give a listen to Peter
Gabriel "Body is a Cage". Some
beautiful line in that one (but he
didn't write it).
