Lyrics What Did I Find? - John Mark Nelson

Deep in a sleep I awake from and start
To distance myself from my own beating heart
These four hundred days I've lived with myself
Are over at last
I've come down from the shelf
So dust me off slowly
Fix what needs mending
Slowly at first 'cause it's painful beginning again
Determined this time to live like it's ending and

What did I find there?
What did I, what did I find there?

Well I walked through the fire
Swam in the water
Listened to songs being sung by your daughter
Words are floating inside of my head
There's a choice you must make to be living or dead
Ring all the bells hanging high in the steeple
Please get the word out to all of the people
And sit in your sorrows cling to yourself
Can't really be you till your everyone else

What did I find there?
What did I, what did I find there?

When I finally realized the world was an ocean
With breakers that crash on the shore
I stopped looking only for someone that I could adore
And there's so many reasons to sit and be lonely
And stare at the mess that you're in
Maybe a year from now we could be living again

Now I've crossed the crushing ocean
Now I've rolled away the stone
No more pining, no more guilt
I've learned to be my only hope
(Repeat)

Well I hope for your happiness
Pray for your influence
Down on my knees as I beg for forgiveness
Maybe at night when you lay in your bed
Dreams that I'm dreaming have entered your head
And you call me to tell me you can t believe it
Tell all your friends and they don't receive it
And then you are gone, a pillar of fire
Stare at the stars that seem farther and farther from home
