Always Deeper Lyrics

must have been that summer, 1959
he was handed the promise to freedom
if he could stay alive
it was 15 years later, he looked into my eyes
handed me that promise
and it died when he died

i was born to fail and find
deeper paths

deeper than my wounds
deeper than heritage
your love runs always deeper

in the icy grip of winter, 1993
i awakened into a new life
unknown liberty but the new clothes they gave me
would not grow as i grew
like a seed in the desert's arms Lord
still your love breaks through

i was born to fail and find
deeper paths

deeper than my soul
deeper than religion
your love runs always
your love runs always deeper

deeper than my wounds
deeper than heritage
your love runs always (repeat 2X)
deeper
