The Falling Sun

I see you shaken

with every step

by the currents

of the earth

as you stagger

over the wild

untamed prairie

that reveals the depth of your faith

on this trail of life

you walk

toward the falling sun

woah

woah

the falling sun

I see you shrink back

from a blast of bitter rain

tearing leaves

from all the trees

that promised you shelter

from the almost unbearable

weight of the truth

that offers strength

for the pilgrims willing to carry it along

this trail of life

you walk

toward the falling sun

woah

woah

the falling sun

and I know you wonder if there is a God

waiting somewhere

beyond what you can see

or feel

with your broken emotion

waiting

straining

for a glimpse of heaven

in the sky on fire

with flames

burning down the day

and I pray that you won’t give up

on this trail of life

you walk

toward the falling sun

woah

woah

the falling sun

just waiting to rise again
