where do you go
Lindsay McCaul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You keep waiting for a sign
Could a pen from heaven
Write your answer in the sky?
If any constellation
Were to point you left or right
You would go
So where do you go
When there's no voice from heaven?
Where do you go
When all you have are questions?
Maybe the silence is His mercy
And there's beauty in His mystery
You should know you're not alone
Wherever you go
You pray for eyes to see
With every waking breath
A holy fire to illuminate your steps
A single cloud could lead you
Through your wilderness
And you would go, it's by faith we live
It's by faith we see and believe, we believe
