Beyond the Blue - Mehrklang

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

Blue horizon Waits a beautiful day Goodbye to things that bore me Joy is waiting for me I see a new horizon My life has only begun Beyond the blue da-dum, dee-dum Beyond the blue horizon Waits a beautiful day Goodbye to things that bore me Joy is waiting for me I see a new horizon My life has only begun Beyond the blue horizon Lies a rising sun Beyond the blue horizon Waits the beautiful day Goodbye to things that bore me Joy is waiting for me I see a new horizon My life has only begun Beyond the blue horizon Lies a rising sun Beyond the blue horizon Lies a rising sun Beyond the blue horizon Waits a beautiful day Da-da, bum, da, bum, Joy is waiting for me I see a new horizon

Help me surrender my control Searching for the death of my own soul I bleed from far beneath My cover keeps, the rest from leaking I'm bleeding on the inside Fear before the fall Six feet above the next time I lose it all Keep your silence or reach for life beyond the stars Save your mercy, for someone who needs it more I'm the guilty, all the feelings come crashing down on me I'm taking you with me! Help me, I'm losing on my own Locked up in a cage and not alone Show me a way to keep The hate from taking control of breaking I'm bleeding on the inside Fear before the fall Six feet above the next time I lose it all Keep your silence or reach for life beyond the stars Save your mercy, for someone who needs it more I'm the guilty, all the feelings come crashing down on me I'm taking you with me! Keep your silence or reach for life beyond the stars Save your mercy, for someone who needs it more You're the jury, all that's buried Come crashing down on me I'm taking you with me! I'm taking you with me Keep your silence or reach for life beyond the stars Save your mercy, for someone who needs it more I'm the guilty, all the feelings come crashing down on me I'm taking you with me! Keep your silence Taking you with me Save your Mercy For someone who needs it more I'm the guilty All the feelings come crashing down on me I'm, taking you with me

I've got a photograph of you Kept in a box of memories And when I feel breakable I take it out And look into your eyes Hoping you'd tell me what do to Give me some guidance Always unshakeable Your voice was strong, and beautiful and wise Look at the cloudless day You captured me smiling A fantasy life, you say Is our silver lining This is your life, dreams can come true But like your memories of me They'll be bittersweet and blue This is your life, dreams can come true But like your memories of me They'll be bittersweet and blue Bittersweet and blue Bittersweet and blue Oh, oh Bittersweet and blue Maybe I left it late to say You were my hero Rising the falling sun Whistling Elvis, striding through the snow The thought of a weekend far away Lasting forever But when the day had come The final bell concealed a body blow Look at me now, you'd say Drowning in sorrow I guess I got lost today But there's always tomorrow This is your life, dreams can come true But like your memories of me They'll be bittersweet and blue This is your life, dreams can come true But like your memories of me They'll be bittersweet and blue Bittersweet and blue Bittersweet and blue This is your life Bittersweet and blue This is your life, dreams can come true But like your memories of me They'll be bittersweet and blue This is your life, dreams can come true But like your memories of me They'll be bittersweet and blue Bittersweet and blue Bittersweet and blue Oh, oh Bittersweet and blue
