We ask for a sign
Just like the red sky in the night
Is a sailors delight
We ask for a sign
Were reading the times
In the midst of the chaos in our lives
Wont the water turn to wine
We reading the times
You give each breath
Then take it away
Won't you reply
The pages cry out the author
Were pleading our case
Each night as our bodies waste away
We need a reason for our days
These shadows that fade
How deafening the sound
Are the cries of violence all around
Yet the whisper of your voice
How faint in the noise
You give each breath
Then take it away
Won't you reply
The pages cry out the author
Brace yourself like a man
Where were you when the earth was born?
Did you mark it with your hands?
When the morning stars sang
Where were you at the start?
Did you decide where the oceans will part?
Shut the seas behind doors
Say here is where your proud waves halt
At your command does the sun take its place
At your voice do violent winds obey
Surely you hold the keys to the hiding place
Where the lightning awaits its dying day
Do you send the eagle on its way
Do you give the lioness its prey
Surely you understand
Mysteries too great for you to comprehend
You who questions
Now answer me
Can you capture the heavens with your eyes
And been to the depths where darkness resides
