[Lyrics for Carrie Newcomer – The Gathering Of Spirits]
Let it sail on silver wings
Lifes a twinkling thats for certain,
But its such a fine thing
Theres a gathering of spirits
Theres a festival of friends
And well take up where we left off
When we all meet again.
I cant explain it. I couldnt if I tried
How the only things we carry
Are the things we hold inside
Like a day in out the open,
Like the love we wont forget
Like the laughter that we started
And hasnt died down yet
Oh yah, now didnt we
And dont we make it shine
Arent we standing in the center of
Something rare and fine
Some glow like embers
Or light through colored glass
Some give it all in one great flame
Throwing kisses as they pass
Just east of Eden
But theres heaven in our midst
And were never really all that far
From those we love and miss
Wade out in the water
Theres a glory all around
The wisest say theres a 1000 ways
The kneel and kiss the ground
