Spoken Word from song by Jonathan David & Melissa Helser
Standing on the shore of decision looking into the face of adventure
Desire to abandon all I know
What pushes me is rooted somewhere between misunderstanding and knowing
Knowing that what I want is not within my reach
So I ponder my escape not knowing what lies ahead
Adventure in theory is full of excitement and bleeds with passion for life.
But adventure in reality is full of breathless moments, silent nights and wounds that leave scars and memory on a heart
Can I go the distance
Can I give all my mind to get what the messenger is saying
Can I surrender my knowing
Will I survive the humility of ignorance to attain the treasure that earthly gold cannot buy
Will I ask the question of honesty even if the answer convicts my soul and sends me to the land of repentance
All of these thoughts flood my mind
All of these thoughts flood my mind
As I stand on the shore of choosing
And in the distance of my wandering I see with clear eyes a flock of wild beautiful birds
Swooping clearly in my direction as if they see me and are coming for me
How strange it is that their eyes are full of clarity and the melody of their flapping wings sings out
We are coming for you
We are coming for you
