How long will it take to find the higher power moving in me? Power in the insect Power in the sea Power in the snow falling silently Power in the blossom Power in the stone Power in the song being sung alone Power in the wheatfield Power in the rain Power in the sunlight and the hurricane Power in the silence Power in the flame Power in the sound of the lover's name The power of the sunrise and the power of a prayer released On the edge of my country, I pray for the ones with the least Hunger in the midnight, hunger at the stroke of noon Hunger in the banquet, hunger in the bride and groom Hunger on the TV, hunger on the printed page And there's a God-sized hunger underneath the questions of the age And an absence of light In the deepening night Where I wait for the sun Looking east Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Of Missing Persons, On The Day, Our Lady Of The Well, Red Neck Friend, Rock Me on the Water, Rosie, Running On Empty, Say It Isnt True, Sergio Leone, Shaky Town, Sing My Songs To Me, Sky Blue And Black, Sleeps Dark And Silent Gate, Soldier Of Plenty, Some Bridges, Somebodys Baby, Something Fine, Song for Adam, Stay, Take It Easy, Take This Rain, Tender Is The Night, The Barricades Of Heaven, The Fuse, The Late Show, The Load Out, The Naked Ride Home, The Next Voice You Hear, The Night Inside Me, The Only Child, The Pretender, The Rebel Jesus, The Road, The Road And The Sky, The Times Youve Come, The Word Justice, These Days, Too Many Angels, When The Stone Begins To Turn, You Love The Thunder, Amsterdam, Au Suivant, Bruxelles, De Burgerij, Grand Jacques, Il Neige Sur Liege, Jaures, JArrive, Je Ne Sais Pas, Jef, Other Browne Jackson song Lyrics About My Imagination Lyrics Alive In The World Lyrics All Good Things Lyrics Anything Can Happen Lyrics Baby How Long Lyrics Before The Deluge Lyrics Black & White Lyrics Boulevard Lyrics Call It A Loan Lyrics Candy Lyrics Casino Nation Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Jackson Finch Lyrics Jackson Five Lyrics Jackson Five, The Lyrics Jackson Janet Lyrics Janet Jackson Lyrics Jackson Jermaine Lyrics Jackson Joe Lyrics Jackson Kristy Lyrics Jackson Luscious Lyrics Jackson Michael Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
