Gathering
As performed by State of Mud on the album Running Bull (Kullsta Records, 2018)
Melody & Lyrics © Peter Lucas Erixon
There might be a place
It may come a time
Even another side
Where all we've lost
Secretly gathers
A treasure to be spread
What each of us have gained
An arrival like a sparkling rain
There's a greater heart
It contains it all
Unfulfilled hopes and dreams
The tenderhearted deeds
We're on a sliding wing
Where I've seen miracles
Compassion beyond it all
No vicious enemy
No eternal hate
Be the one
You want to meet
Yourself
What's the name of our enemy
All I see
Is you
There's a sorrow
Only God can see
Staggering depths
All I saw and thought
What we felt and formed
Each single tear
From each single eye
Only God can reach
Humbly embrace
Ask no permission
Bow no servile bow
Don't bend submissively
Dwell quietly
Yes, strangers in eternity
We don't know a certain goal
Or a real 'enemy'
No vicious enemy
No eternal hate
Will ever last
We know no certain goal
Future awaits the one
Who can say
You are my family
There are no enemies
There are no certainties
Other than you
