Stand on the shores of a sight unseen
The substance of it dwells in me
'Cause my natural eyes only go skin deep
But the eyes of my heart anchor the sea
Plumbing the depths to the place in between
The tangible world and the land of a dream
Because everything here ain't quite what it seems
There's more beneath the appearance of things
A beggar could be king within the shadows of a wing
Yeah, wisdom will honor everyone who will learn
To listen to love and to pray and discern
And to do the right thing even when it burns
And to live in the light through each treacherous turn
A man is weak but the spirit yearns
To keep to the course from the bow to the stern
And to throw overboard every selfish concern
That tries to work for what can't be earned
Sometimes the only way to return is to go
Where the winds will take you
And to let go of all you cannot hold onto
For the hope beyond the blue
I sing yellow and gold as the new day dawn
Like a virgin unveiled who waited so long
To dance and rejoice and to sing her song
And rest in the arms of a love so strong
No one comes unless they're drawn
By the voice of desire that leads 'em along
To the redemption of what went wrong
By the blood that covered the innocent one
No more separation between us
So lift your voice just one more time
If there's any hope, may it be a sign
That everything was made to shine
Despite what you can see
So take this bread and drink this wine
And hide your spirit in the vine
Where all things work by good design
For those who will believe
And let go of all we cannot hold onto
For the hope beyond the blue
Said, I'll let go of all I could not hold onto
For the hope I have in you
