Lyrics
Reaching For The Sun Kathy Stewart-Kennedy 2018 Incantation: ( whispering: )...... “ obtain for all who offend
thee the grace of repentance and graciously accept this poor act of homage from me thy servant, the pardon , the remission of sins....”
Sister of Charity, smile upon me
Maria Regina, in your long, black gown
A promise of sunlight, through a darkened sky I feel so unworthy when you’re looking down
Chorus: I know somewhere there is beauty I just want something to love
Far from where there's no mercy
I'm reaching for the sun
Reaching for the sun
Suffer the children
Who unto them they come
The lost and forgotten
The odd ones out
They prey on the lonely
You pray for the least reward
And shrink in the shadows
When you're hunted down Chorus:
I know somewhere there is beauty I just want something to love
Far from where there's no mercy I'm reaching for the sun
Reaching for the sun
Sisters of Mercy
What has become of me
Breaking this silence
After all these years
Darkness is all you see
Decades of rosary
While Heaven keeps watch upon your veil of tears
Chorus: I know somewhere there is beauty I know that somewhere there's love Something more to believe in
I'm reaching for the sun
Reaching for the sun
Patchen Poem:
There is nothing false in thee/ In thy heat the youngest body has warmth and light/ In thee the quills of the sun find adornment/ what does not die is with thee
