so much we’ve prayed
for something which has been
so near yet so far away

so foolish, we’ve been searching
for so long, so very far from us,
day after day

so old, so tired, we are longing for a rest –
closing our eyes so soon,
still thinking of our lives…

we miss the moment and the glory
as we pray

for something, which alike the sky
has always been
so near yet so far away.
