C.S. Lewis Song by Brooke Fraser

This is the only song that's been playing in my car for at least 2 weeks. When another one comes on, I have to fight the urger to replay it...and most times I give in and play it again. Every line means something wonderful to me. I'd like to share with you the lyrics. I hope they mean the same for you.

Ah....
Ah....

If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy
I can only conclude that I, I WAS NOT MADE FOR HERE

If the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary
Then, of course, I'll feel nude when to where I'm destined I'm compared

Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Mercy comes with the morning
And I will sigh and with all creation groan
As I wait for hope to come for me

Am I lost of just less found on the straight or on the roundabout of the wrong way
IS THIS SOUL THAT STIRS IN ME, IS BREAKING FREE
WANTING TO COME ALIVE?

Cause my comfort would prefer for me to be numb
And avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become

Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Mercy comes with the morning
And I will sigh and with all creation groan
As I wait for hope to come for me

FOR WE, WE ARE NOT LONG HERE
OUR TIME IS BUT A BREATHE
SO WE'D BETTER BREATHE IT
AND I, I WAS MADE TO LOVE
I WAS MADE TO LOVE
I WAS MADE TO KNOW YOU

hope
is coming for me
hope
is coming for me
hope
is coming for me
hope
HE'S COMIN

Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Mercy comes with the mornin, mornin
And I will sigh and with all creation groan
As I wait for hope to come for me, for me, for me

Ah...
Ah...
