ONLY LOVE KNOWS (CenturyNew)

Walk with me. We leave this road. We look out to that shore. Somewhere the sun is shining, soft on a bright, still shore. (Mmm) Stay with me now. We trust this path. Each small step, we simply breathe. Somewhere our tears fall quiet. Beautiful isle of somewhere. (Ohh) Somewhere the day is longer, Somewhere the task is done. Somewhere the heart is stronger, Somewhere the prize is won. We can speak our true names now. We can stand in clear, kind light. Somewhere our names are spoken. Somewhere we are fully known. Somewhere our past falls quiet. Somewhere new hearts stand strong. (Ahh) "Somewhere the sun is shining, Somewhere the songbirds dwell;" If we cannot keep smiling, we do not have to pretend. When our shoulders feel so heavy, we can rest in love, my friend. (Hmm) We can set our masks down softly. We can breathe and just be still. We are held in gentle kindness. We are safe in faithful hands. (Mmm) God lives, and all is well now. We repeat it, low and slow. (Ohh) We are called toward that somewhere. Only love keeps leading us. "Hush, then, thy sad repining, God lives, and all is well. Land of the true, where we live anew, Beautiful Isle of Somewhere!" Somewhere the load is lifted, close by an open gate. Somewhere the clouds are rifted, somewhere the angels wait. We step on in, hearts lighter. We walk on in steady time. (Ahh) Land of the true, we live anew, beautiful isle of somewhere. We move toward that harbor. We stay close and side by side. (Mmm) Beautiful isle of somewhere, only love knows how we arrive. Somewhere our daylight lingers. Somewhere our long work ends. We belong in that soft silence, held by love that never bends. (Ohh)
