A single note passes out of the ashes,
A flickering ember begins.
It's the courage to turn
When the pages have burned
And your story seems at an end
Seasons stay and seasons go
Sending your memories adrift
It's the beautiful longing,
Embrace the unknown;
That's the mystery of your gift.
And the echoes of your melody
Will always live in these walls
And the lessons that you gave to me,
Before you can fly, you must fall
It's the beautiful longing,
Embrace the unknown;
That's the mystery of your gift.
There's a voice in the shadow calling for more
There's a rhythm that beats from within
Lending your voice to the warmth of your song
There's a strength in the choir of one
Pure as the voice that sees the place
Where the weight of your past may now lift
It's the beautiful longing,
Embrace the unknown;
That's the mystery of your gift.
And the echoes of your melody
Will always live in these walls
And the lessons that you gave to me,
Before you can fly, you must fall
So sing higher and higher,
A thousand new voices ring through.
If you sing out of the fire,
The courage you need comes from you.
And the echoes of your melody
Will always live in these walls
And the lessons that you gave to me,
Before you can fly, you must fall
It's the beautiful longing,
Embrace the unknown;
That's the mystery of your gift.
It's the beautiful longing,
Embrace the unknown;
That's the mystery of your gift.
