You waited through the night,
Stayed here by my side
Not anxious of the time it takes
You whisper to my soul
Just three steps left to go,
Patiently You show the way
Into the clearing, I'm finally seeing
In the clearing, I'm finally breathing
I could make my bed,
So many places I have been
But You said I was meant for more
So I'll never settle now
For less than holy ground,
Oh what a life we've found here
In the clearing, I'm finally seeing
In the clearing, I'm finally breathing
To the ones who feel behind,
Still searching for the light
You're not out of time, You'll see
