Tell Me

Tell me who—who would you be?

If you had a choice could you really walk free?

And tell me what—what do you see

Bars on the windows or fair flowers and trees?

(chorus)

Can you think with your heart?

Can you feel with your brain?

Would you surrender yourself just to be the refrain

Of rain on the ocean or wind in the grain?

 

Tell me when—when is the day

There is more to the Word than just something to say?

And tell me where—where is the place

That peace, love and justice have only one face?

 

Tell me how—how could you know

If it’s better to struggle or go with the flow?

And tell me why—why do you reach?

You’re already at home as the sands on the beach

 

(bridge/chorus 2)

While the stars don’t shine brightly through every night

It’s not hard to believe that they hold

Steadfast in the heavens like keepers of light

From infinite pieces of soul
