Lyrics
Verse 1:
I saw a tree by the side of the road
And a field where the grass won’t grow
And a light that will not shine down on me
My heart is empty
And near that field was a pond and a stream
Like a vision I’d had in a dream
For the beauty and splendor was not of this earth
Feel your own worth
Chorus:
Where is the love
That I felt for oh so long?
Where is that love
A love so bold and strong?
Like a glass that now is empty
I am shattered against a stone
And though I may be hurting
I will never be alone
Verse 2:
I gazed on the beautiful pond
Like a wizard had waved his wand
But the fish couldn’t swim
And the water was dim
And the life was sucked out of the land
Under the tree was a man so old
I could tell by his shakes that he was cold
For so long his soul had been burning
His eyes are now turning
Bridge 1:
And the snake crept up the path
And scared the little children
Then they scattered and ran
Into that big old building
Bridge 2:
No one could protect them
No one there could see
All of them were hurting
What could the answer be?
*Chorus*
Verse 3:
I looked out across the plain
But my mind was completely insane
And I said on a whim
To the man who is Him
How long can this possibly sustain?
And I’m sure that He looked down on me
And said Son will you ever see
You should live your life for me
and you will be free
I saw a tree by the side of the road
And a field where the grass won’t grow
And a light that will not shine down on me
My heart is empty
And near that field was a pond and a stream
Like a vision I’d had in a dream
For the beauty and splendor was not of this earth
Feel your own worth
Chorus:
Where is the love
That I felt for oh so long?
Where is that love
A love so bold and strong?
Like a glass that now is empty
I am shattered against a stone
And though I may be hurting
I will never be alone
Verse 2:
I gazed on the beautiful pond
Like a wizard had waved his wand
But the fish couldn’t swim
And the water was dim
And the life was sucked out of the land
Under the tree was a man so old
I could tell by his shakes that he was cold
For so long his soul had been burning
His eyes are now turning
Bridge 1:
And the snake crept up the path
And scared the little children
Then they scattered and ran
Into that big old building
Bridge 2:
No one could protect them
No one there could see
All of them were hurting
