I Heard An Owl Call Last Night lyrics

Verse: I heard an owl call last night
Homeless and confused
I stood naked and bewildered
By the evil people do

Verse: Up upon a hill there is a terrible sign
That tells the story of what darkness waits
When we leave the light behind.

Chorus: Don’t tell me hate is ever right or God’s will
These are the wheels we put in motion ourselves
The whole world weeps and is weeping still
Though shaken I still believe
the best of what we all can be
The only peace this world will know
Can only come from love.

Verse: I am a voice calling out
Across the great divide
I am only one person
That feels they have to try
The questions fall like trees or dust
Rise like prayers above
But the only word is “Courage”
And the only answer “ Love”

Chorus

Verse: Light ever candle that you can
For we need some light to see
In the face of deepest loss,
Treat each other tenderly
The arms of god will gather in
Every sparrow that falls
And makes no separation
Just fiercely loves us all.
