SLIPPIN' THROUGH THE CRACK IN THE WORLD
©1999 Mark P. Hirschhorn
from the Ascending Music CD ‘The Wonder Of It All’
Nighttime falling everywhere you look
Crazy's taken control
'Cause the old ways are dyin' and everybody's tryin'
To find their soul
You've got too many people trying to prove they're right
Not so many who can see the Light
Slippin', slippin', slippin' through the crack in the world (2)
What 'll you do when it all comes down?
Where're you gonna run and hide?
How you gonna keep that wolf at bay
When he's deep inside?
We've got to break free from this endless fight
Got to keep an eye on the dawning Light
Slippin', slippin', slippin' through the crack in the world (2)
Well, it's the age-old curse, and it's high time to break it
That's why we're here - to keep the magic alive
There's too much to lose, and no time to fake it
'Cause only what's built on Love survives
Now I've heard it said that the darkest hour
Is the one just before the dawn
When it takes all the faith and the courage you've got
Just to carry on
Dancing through Shadow like a thief in the night
Finding your way by the flash of Light
Slippin', slippin', slippin' through the crack in the world (2)
