Hidden in Plain Sight (The Lighter Case)

+ Show full styles

(Verse 1) I sat down at the table, a heavy mind and a weary heart Reached out for the comfort, but I couldn't find My Bic lighter case, my silver friend, nowhere to be found I turned the papers over, I checked the cluttered ground My eyes were wide and searching, sweeping left and right But a veil was hanging heavy, stealing away my sight. (Chorus) And I wonder if You’re sitting there, leaning on Your hand Watching me spin in circles, trying to understand Are You the treasure on the table, the Truth I cannot see? Whispering, "I’m right here, daughter, right in front of thee" Do You hold Your breath and wait, just to see what I will do? Playing hide and seek with a heart that’s seeking You. (Verse 2) I was staring right at it, the metal shining clear But my brain wouldn't register the thing that was so near I had to reach my hand out, and brush against the steel To prove that it was solid, to prove that it was real A phantom in the daylight, a ghost within the room Like looking for a sunrise while standing in the gloom. (Bridge) And I swear I heard a whisper, a chuckle in the air When my fingers finally found it, resting quietly there A voice like many waters, or maybe just the wind Saying, "She looked right through Me, time and time again." (Chorus) Yeah, I wonder if You’re sitting there, leaning on Your hand Watching me spin in circles, trying to understand Are You the treasure on the table, the Truth I cannot see? Whispering, "I’m right here, Sheryl, right in front of thee" Do You hold Your breath and wait, just to see what I will do? Playing hide and seek with a heart that’s seeking You. (Outro - Spoken / Whispered) I finally grabbed the case. And in the silence, I felt the smile of God. And I could almost hear Him say... "Right here... I am right here..." "Almost... almost..." "Blast... she almost had Me that time." (Fade out on a single acoustic guitar strum)
