about
This is for all of the brave people who somehow find a way to let the light shine on years of misunderstanding and pain, and to open their minds and hearts to the view from others’ eyes.
lyrics
If you should come through the woods
Oh, welcome day
If you should cross the mountains, tossed and torn
Thorn, brush and broken limb, fires raging
And trust to find a true and tender home
If you should come through the woods
Oh, welcome day
Born so bright and new, one tiny dove
Light beams through deep unknown, fires raging
We dream the day you’ll find this home, our love
If you should come through the woods
Oh, welcome day
If you should find a sweeter path to walk
Through silence, words of harm, fires raging
You found the strength to open arms again
If you should come through the woods
Oh, welcome day
Past what you believed to be so true
Towers built and swords defend, fires raging
What if our ragged hearts could mend to love
If you should come through the woods
Oh, welcome day
If you should cross the mountain pass
If you should find a sweeter path
If you should come through the woods
Oh, welcome day
