We Find You Again

At the service for Mary at Weatherman Draw on Saturday, October 9, our friends Kris & Scott Prinzing hiked into the valley early, and were there ready to perform several songs for us when the larger group arrived. The acoutics of the valley and the way their music filled the canyon walls and floated up to those on top of the cliffs was absolutely beautiful. Here are the lyrics to a song from that day that Kris wrote.

We Find You Again

Thunder afar
A darkness apart

This will define us
These friends
And one
Taken suddenly away

On the light
Spirit soars
On the light
Evermore

With the sky
From us torn
With the air
Evermore
In the sun
In this rain
In the clouds
We find you again

Thunder afar
A brightness apart

This will define us
These friends
And one
Taken away

On the light
Spirit soars
On this light
Evermore

With the sky
With the air
In the sun
In the rain
We find you again

Thunder afar / A darkness apart
Thunder afar / A darkness apart

FOR A TIME I HAVE LIVED WITH YOU. AND NOW I MUST BE GOING SEPARATELY TO BE TOGETHER. PERHAPS I SHALL BE THE WIND TO BLUR YOUR SMOOTH WATERS SO THAT YOU DO NOT SEE YOUR FACE TOO MUCH. PERHAPS I SHALL BE THE STAR TO GUIDE YOUR UNCERTAIN WINGS SO THAT YOU HAVE DIRECTION IN THE NIGHT. PERHAPS I SHALL BE THE FIRE TO SEPARATE YOUR THOUGHTS SO THAT YOU DO NOT GIVE UP. PERHAPS I SHALL BE THE RAIN TO OPEN UP THE EARTH SO THAT YOUR SEED MAY FALL. PERHAPS I SHALL BE THE SNOW TO LET YOUR BLOSSOMS SLEEP SO THAT YOUR MAY BLOOM IN THE SPRING. PERHAPS I SHALL BE THE STREAM TO PLAY A SONG ON THE ROCK SO THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE. PERHAPS I SHALL BE A NEW MOUNTAIN SO THAT YOU ALWAYS HAVE A HOME
