Are we on the brink
Of a regressive movement 
Where the skies go black
And we lose it
All to a dream
Of forever
Can we keep rowing
A hopeful endeavor 
Down the river to the sea
And I’m just checking
Does He mean me?
When He says girl
Go do my will
I gotta shape up until
Destiny takes me by the hand
Says, love, it’s gonna be grand
But all I can see are these castles made of sand
And people crying out for a superman 
Are we really going back
To a dark age
I spill my heart in 
Ink upon the page
Say show me a way
United not divide
Where everyone has their say
And we value what’s alive
And for all the forecasts
The doommongering prophecy 
I am still absorbed 
By this light inside of me
That never dims, it only grows
With the heat of love it glows
Into a warm embrace
And He’s in every face
Like He lifted up His arm
And the sea was calm
So do I need to be frightened 
Over the enlightened 
Am I just Peter holding on to You In case he sinks
Is that my relationship to You
It could be methinks
But how do I just trust 
In the words that You say
That you are with me Now
Always and everyday
