mark fenster - the portrait lyrics

[intro]
he had gone to sleep
as though it were any other night
but, soon in a dream
he was transported to another place
another dimension
he had awakened to the darkness
the silence only to be broken
by a powerful but distant voice
crying out its message
through a living image in the sky
the portrait

[verse 1]
if it’s morning, shouldn’t there be light?
the haze in my eyes from the darkness left me blind
i feel a warning, and yet no one appears
a voice from above calls out pleading me to hear

[chorus 1]
“can you hold me?
keep the promise you’ve told me?
show your love to the child you call your own?”

[verse 2]
i look around me, unfamiliar ground
the voice fires light through a portrait filled with sound
it shows me rivers, flowing rainbowed hues
then suddenly the colors of life turn dark refuse
[chorus 2]
“can you hold me?
keep the promise you’ve told me?
show your love to the child you call your own?”
i can hold you
hear the words that i’ve told you
follow me and you’ll find your way back home

[bridge]
the portrait goes bright
the visions can tear your soul away
the wind+blown serene of forested green
in rhythms that only life can play
then man sets his fire
and boulders of smoke replace the sun
in blackened disguise is nature’s demise
what have we done?

[verse 3]
a tear befalls me, for i’ve learned this time
a brightened horizon awaits if we heal our crime
you’ve told our story, and i’ll plant your seed
now portrait i beg for your ears, hear my plea

[chorus 3]
i will hold you, and keep the promise i’ve told you
show my love to the child we call our own
will you hold me?
i’ve heard the words that you’ve told me
i’ll follow you and i’ll find my way back home
[outro]
if it’s morning, shouldn’t there be light?
