REACHING BACK TO ME  

I want to cast my lot
With eternity
And feel the future
Reaching back to me

But time is fleeting
Yes it’s almost gone
Like a sun setting
In the western sky beyond

I want to step outside
Time for just once
And be free from all it is
That I think I want  

And the evening skies open
And they point the way home
I feel them pour through me
And know I’m not alone 

Let mystery bathe me
In the living light
That all that was dark may
Finally be made bright

And if I had a chance to step
Outside these walls
I’d leap so high in the sky
And I would never fall 

Oh I want to cast my lot
With eternity
And feel the future
Reaching back to me
