What of Lazarus? (Under the Cover of Light)


A song about holding onto your faith when times get hard.
by Bill Boutin

Don't you know, your life is but a moment in flight
Don't let go, for joy is worth the pain of the night
Don't you know, the fog hides the ocean from the rain
Let them go, the tears only come to ease the pain

It's all right, the Son remembers well
Hope burns bright, as time will never tell
And someone finally fell for you, just be true
The Son brings His delight, hidden under cover of light

Without a word, you languish through the lonely years on end
And times get hard, when emptiness becomes your constant friend

It's all right, cherish all the sorrows
Don't lose sight, there may be no tomorrow,
yet someone soon may follow after you, just be true
The Son brings His delight, hidden under cover of light

Maybe when you find your body resting in the ground
Maybe then the peace you never knew will be found

It's all right, the Son remembers well
Say goodnight, your story's ended well, the one who finally fell
Was you, and you've been true
The Son brings His delight, hidden under cover of light
It's all right, the Son remembers well
Hope burns bright, as time will never tell
And someone finally fell for you, just be true
The Son brings His delight, hidden under cover of light
And It's all right

(C) 1997 Bill Boutin
