An Artist’s Song

You walked
Through this horrid life
But you got to sing
Before you closed your eyes
And you whispered
Your secret in a megaphone
That's heard from the ocean
All the way to my home

A fearful song
Played by trumpets for my heart
I have a fear of darkness
So sing
Your hymn of faith cause I have none
Your song is my fortress

You gave
Me the strength to carry
My weak body
From the shore to the boat
And you kindly
Returned me toward the sea
When my bones become salt
I'll keep the secret you gave me

A fearful song
Played by trumpets for my heart
I have a fear of darkness
So sing
Your hymn of faith cause I have none
Your song is my fortress

A fearful song
It calls and calls for our heart
A certain love's what I offer
So sing out
Your hymn of faith cause I have none
Your song is my armor
