The Cave from Running Wild by Caves & Kingdoms

THE CAVE

I followed up the rocky trail
To the place I knew we’d meet
Past the cedars and through the clouds
Alone on weary feet

Until at last I reached that cave
The hollow where I knew you’d be
But alas I could not hear you there
And solitude surrounded me

I just need direction, to know which way to turn
I just want to hear your voice, hear you utter one more word

A wind tore past the mountain peaks
A roar surrounded me
The ground it shook under my feet
And wildfires blazed beneath
But where were you throughout the storm?
That left me full of awe
Humbled there I felt so small
But couldn’t hear your voice at all

I just need direction, to know which way to turn
I just want to hear your voice, hear you utter one more word
Let me know your heart, that’s all I ask of you
Just a quiet whisper, a single word will do

Then when at last the silence fell
I stepped out of the cave
And in the silence your still small voice
Spoke to me and said:
“My child, how are you? What is on your mind? Through the wind and through the storm I never left your side”

Your voice spoke peace and comfort
Your voice guides my way
It strengthens and sustains me
Oh how I need your voice again

Let me know your heart, that’s all I ask of you
Just a quiet whisper, a single word will do
