One Day

from Shadow Lands by C. James Conrad

/

about

Inspired by C.S. Lewis' "Transposition"

When one tries to explain a complex language, the spiritual, in a simplified form, the physical, much gets lost in the translation.

lyrics

Picture an artist thrown in a dungeon
There she bears and rears a son
Woman of faith she hopes of deliverance
Dreamed of freedom from day one

Pencils and sketchpads structure his leaning
She will draw what he's not seen
Glorious cities rivers and mountains
Truth revealed majestic scenes

She says one day we will live in a better place
One day we will see, see your Fathers face
One day we feel, feel His warm embrace
One day we will be free

Doing his best he tries to imagine
Endless seas and ocean waves
But he can’t believe in objects without lines
Understanding fades away

She says one day we will live in a better place
One day we will see, see your Fathers face
One day we feel, feel His warm embrace
One day we will be free

Can he trust his mother
For the things he's never known
Of a Father longing for him
Of a place she calls home

She says one day we will live in a better place
One day we will see, see your Fathers face
One day we feel, feel His warm embrace
One day we will be

One day we will live in a better place
One day we will see, see your Fathers face
One day we feel, feel His warm embrace
One day we will be free
One day we will be free
One day we will be
One day we will be free
