Unseen

Cold, alone, but in the air
The echo of a timeless truth
Beneath the sky, I listen there
Too faint, arise the fear to move

What if, in the dark of night
I see your hand move in the trees?
Too dim to know that my eyes were right
My body, weak, fall to my knees

Your way remained right through the sea
Your path was made through waters great
And yet your footprints were unseen
You led your people sure and straight
A guiding hand we knew was there
The whole time kept us from despair

A whisper through the falling rain
I swear I hear, though I can’t see
Is there a chance there’s more to pain
A greater purpose, more meaning?

Come to find, I’m not alone
Though your face remains hidden
Your back is all I see
But only because you pave a way for me
