I heard the trees whisper
As you passed through
I heard them sing
In their way
Singing for you
And I listened
I saw the clouds play
As you passed through
I saw them dance
In their way
Dancing for you
And I laughed
I saw you look
As you passed through
I saw you smile
In your way
Smiling for me

One foot touching
Before the abyss
I was there

And sigh away

At your countless stars
Your profound majesty
I begged you
Look at me
Answer me
No answer came
From above
But
You answered me
With gentle waves
That held me
Against the shore
You were looking
All along
