Timing Of The Known

(album: The Promise Ring - 1997)

If only time had brought us here
A thousand days or more
A thousand souls would come to life
And dance on every shore
For all the world has come to see
The meeting of the heart 'n' mind
Is all that humans need to do
To see the heavens begin

So all I see is you were there
And all I know the fire so strong
This timing of the ancient lore
This timing of the known

Now all we know transpired a while
While angels brought the power to bear
They specialize in credence form
To heal the broken hearts

How nature watches from afar
And spells the truth out in the corn
Be careful of the deeds you sow
So surely shall ye reap

So all I see is you were there
And all I know the fire so strong
The timing of the ancient lore
This timing of the known

If all the world we really knew
And understood the truth to be
We'd far more want to dance 'n' sing
The bringing o'er the light
At last our children stand in peace
The prophets say we live the news
Just once again forevermore
With nothing left to lose

So all I see is you were there
And all I know the fire so strong
The timing of the ancient lore
This timing of the known

If only time had brought us here
A thousand days or more
A thousand souls would come to life
And dance on every shore
For all the world has come to see
The meeting of the heart 'n' mind
Is all that humans need to do
To see the heavens begin

So all I see is you were there
And all I know the fire so strong
This timing of the ancient lore
This timing of the known
