Iona Hinba Lyrics

Hinba Lyrics

Pulling against the tide, rowing

Heart praying, thought flowing

Until the oars touch the ground of Hinba



Pushing against the eastern wind

Salt that bleeds into the skin

Looking over your shoulder to Hinba



This is where you prayed

And Heaven's light shone down

This is where you sang the angel song

Rising higher, rising higher to beyond



Morning comes in glorious light

Sea reflecting calm and bright

And the song still rises from the island



Here you came to make your fast

Prayed for mercy 'til at last

You heard the word, you waited for



This is where you prayed

And Heaven's light shone down

This is where you sang the angel song

Rising higher, rising higher to beyond



This is where you prayed

And Heaven's light shone down

This is where you sang the angel song

Rising higher, rising higher, rising higher to beyond
