Echoes Lyrics

Echoes lyrics

The morning has nothing to fear from the night







Reaching the monastery of St Catherine



The burning bush where Moses spoke with his God



The chamber of skulls of the monks, they who had gone before



The library of early Christian texts and the pathway of repentance



Steps cut into rock by monks so they could



Climb to the peak and commune with their God







As I climb the long pathway of repentance myself



Towards the peak of Sinai in the still dark hours of the morn



I yearn for the daylight which will tame my hesitations







My soul had hungered for the truth throughout this aching quest



And as I watched the sun rise over Sinai for the first time in my whole life



I realised it shed its light not only on the earth



But also on the darkness of my aged heart within



Now was the time to shine
