Window Within

[Verse 1] Summer morning, bright and fast I catch the gold as I pass Give it a wave, give it a nod Busy hands, but I know God Winter light comes soft and thin I lift my arms and let it in Eyes closed, smiling through the cold Summer memory in my bones [Pre-Chorus] It sets me right It holds my name Round and round Through sun and rain [Chorus] Open the window within Let the light come in Open the window within I am held in it Open the window within Let love begin Open the window within I am healed again [Verse 2] There are hills behind my chest Quiet paths I walk to rest A stream that runs beneath my breath A forest rising through the ache Then the pockets of my pain Small wild creatures in the rain I let the morning find their hide Stand beside them, side by side [Pre-Chorus] It shows the wound It shows the way Gently now I stay, I stay [Chorus] Open the window within Let the light come in Open the window within I am held in it Open the window within Let love begin Open the window within I am healed again [Bridge] In the heat, I seek the shade But only for a while I walk for days in blessed light And carry it for miles Even in the darkest room I know its memory lives I raise my arms, a simple offer A funnel for what gives [Final Chorus] Open the window within Let the light come in Open the window within I am held in it Open the window within Let love begin Open the window within I am healed again Open the window within (ah) Open the window within (oh) Open the window within I am the light I give
