The Bigger Picture

Long before the colors start to bleed
I can see the painting come alive
Clever like an angel in disguise
Moving in and out of reach
If the candle lights this crooked path
Like a lighthouse peering through the haze
I will find the river through the rain
And I?ll reach the water?s edge
[*] Shed your light on me
Be my eyes when I can?t see
Shed your light on me
Be my guide so I can see
The bigger picture
Like a moth burned by the fire
And driven to the flame
(Prophecy's a blessing and a curse)
I must bear this cross alone
There?s no one else to blame
With each treasure found
Another shipwreck?s washed ashore
I am carried by the current
On a slow and steady course
[* Repeat]
What if caught in a moment
I get lost and can't find my way
What if all along I was wrong
In every turn, in every way
Would you talk me off the ledge
Or let me take the fall
Better to try and fail
Then to never try at all
You look but cannot see
Talk but never speak
You live but cannot breathe
See but don?t believe
Wounds that never heal
A heart that cannot feel
A dream that?s all too real
A stare as cold as steel
I?ve listened to the stories of resentment and disdain
I?ve looked into the empty eyes of anger, fear, and shame
I?ve taken blood from every stone
And traveled every road
When I see the distant lights illuminate the night
Then I will know I am home
