(The Bird Inside You)
(a verse for the movie that changed my life)
The snow-white horses are still racing fast
Before Messala’s chariot of the night.
O, Lord! For just a single moment past
Be in my graying soul a ray of light...
Be like a sip of water in dry heat,
While my heavy chain is burning still on me...
To know, O Christ, You are my safe retreat,
When faith can’t reach my lips to set me free...
Be like a call thrown out of sorrow's span,
Throughout my heavy galley fate and thread.
To house true love instead of vengeance, man,
Forgiving foes from yesterday instead...
Be to me blood from Cross! And be a trace
Along the dusty pathways of Judea...
To remember Bethlehem’s bright star of grace,
Which saved my spirit from the dark idea.
The snow-white horses are still racing fast
Before Messala’s chariot of the night.
An open heaven shines in me at last
With one white hand, pierced through with sacred light.
