lyrics

I can't believe the news today, seven years ago they had you put away
A mother's love was hanging in the stars, a Father's will was right there behind prison bars

Hannah, you don't know me, I don't know you
But I've been on my knees interceding through
These seven years I knew you were alright
Cause that darkened hall, well it needed some light

(Pre-chorus)
You kept the torch lit all along, undaunted, though it won't be long

(Chorus)
It ain't strange to find rapids on the river, it ain't strange to find danger in the flow
The Spirit moves when we surrender all we are and let go, let go, hang on, hang on, let go

The most unlikely of all criminals, but we are everyone guilty when we're born
His ways and means are far above us all, He mends the tattered and the broken and the torn

You are a songbird with the sweetest song, encaged with hopeless souls who could not carry on
But you have shown them how to sing along, and that darkened hall is now a bright rejoicing throng

From deep in the heart of central Arkansas, Balla Dear muses in the medium of Southern Folk, Country Gospel, and Folk Ballad. The themes are evident; peace and solace amidst one's own undoing. Sacrificial love is by far the greatest gift among men. ... more
