ONE DAY CLOSER

Hirschhorn
from the Ascending Music CD 'Promises To Keep'
Every mile the river flows sweeps the water closer to the sea
Every step a baby takes prepares her for the day that she'll be free
Each and every morning there comes another turn
A trail to be discovered, a lesson to be learned
Every day we live and grow brings us one day closer to our home
Every tune the minstrel sings leads us to the answer to our prayers
Every dream he brings alive fills us with a joy for all to share
Shining with the promise of magic in his eyes
So come along and join him on his journey to the skies
Every day we dare to roam brings us one day closer to our home
We are strangers in an ever-changing land
Rearrangers for we’ve come to understand
How the splendor in the visions that we see
Glows within us ‘till we touch Eternity
Every time the eagle flies, wonder reaches deeper in our hearts
Every night the forest sleeps, feel it keep the beating of the stars
Tell me, do you hear it, whispering in your ears
The thunder of the Spirit that moves your soul to tears?
Every day we call our own brings us one day closer to our home
