Forever in a Day Lyrics

There's a little trail in my hometown, a three-mile loop we walk

My brother, sister, black lab Kal and me

And on that path we talk and laugh 'bout a thousand little things

Never really knowing where it leads

But I think we're on the path to eternity

Holy ground where God's voice sounds like silence

Even the trees bow down to pray

We're holding hands, her time stands, still

As if to say, "Welcome to forever in a day"

There's an abbey down near Charleston where brotherhood runs deep

With towering oaks that soak up pilgrims' prayers

Where sunlit bluffs and stillness transform notions of enough

And those who search find church in nature's care

I'm longing for that place, take me there

Holy ground where God's voice sounds like silence

Even the trees bow down to pray

We're holding hands, her time stands, still

As if to say, "Welcome to forever in a day"

There's a family in North Carolina we met some years ago

Their grace and kindness give my song its tune

Though miles apart they have my heart, a heart in search of home

Their love bursts forth like lilies in full bloom

I think we're supposed to be together soon

Holy ground where God's voice sounds like silence

Even the trees bow down to pray

We're holding hands, her time stands, still

As if to say, "Welcome to forever in a day"

"Welcome to forever in a day"
