LEAVING NARCISSUS

LEAVING NARCISSUS

Weather in the underground
palace of your fears
will not ever let you live
Will not dissappear
You are going to have to leave
everything you know
everything you've trusted in
and finally simply go
everything you've trusted  in
and finally simply go

Borders boundaries softly pass
on the landscape of repair
Everything you used to know 
is no longer there
And in the space of emptyness
a life begins to form
And you are seeing God show up
and freedom is the norm
Your are seeing God show up
and freedom is the norm

Laughter pushes up inside
despite the years of woe
God's own tears are washing you
He's living from below
And slowly He makes all things new
You're gradually reborn
Death brings resurrection to you now
This is a new morn
Yes, this is a new morn
