Carrie Newcomer I Heard An Owl Call Last Night Lyrics

Verse: I heard an owl call last night
Homeless and confused
And I stood naked and bewildered
At the evil people do

Verse: And up upon a hill there is a terrible sign
That tells the story of what darkness waits
If we leave the light behind.

Chorus: So Don't tell me hate is ever right or God's will
These are the wheels we put in motion ourselves
And the whole world weeps and is weeping still
Though shaken I still believe
the best of what we all can be
And the only peace this world will know
Can only come from love. Verse: I am a voice that's calling out
Across the great divide
And I am only one person
That feels they have to try
And the questions fall like trees or dust
And rise like prayers above
But the only word is 'Courage'
And the only answer 'Love'

Chorus

Verse: Light every candle that you can
We need some light to see
In these days of deepest loss,
Treat each other tenderly
And the arms of God will gather in
Each sparrow that falls
But makes no separation
Just fiercely loves us all.

Chorus
