Caleb Hyles
Amber and Rain
[Verse 1: Caleb Hyles]
I'm a work of amber and rain
All at once forgotten, but refined
The loneliness adds value in time
I have walked a mile with sorrow at my side
And recovery and heartbreak close behind
Our shared lives, mistaken for sunshine
[Chorus: Caleb Hyles]
And the tragedy is knowing that
We won't know who we are
Because who we are is resting in
The knowledge of "whose" we are
So, if we can accept, live with no regrets
A task too bold to claim
Then maybe, just maybe, with mercy to save me
Community shaping, we'll live this life for peace
[Verse 2: Caleb Hyles]
I feel this weight upon my chest
Preventing me from finding rest, but it's imagined
My soul has never been abandoned
So, the sun is breaking through
All was broken, now made new
From ash to embers, a flame I never will surrender
[Chorus: Caleb Hyles]
And the tragedy is knowing that
We won't know who we are
Because who we are is resting in
The knowledge of "whose" we are
So, if we can accept, live with no regrets
A task too bold to claim
Then maybe, just maybe, with mercy to save me
Community shaping, we'll live this life for peace
[Bridge: Jonathan Young]
So when I hear the rolling thunder
I won't run away
If I want to grow, I need the sunshine and the rain
So much left to discover
I promise I am ready, I am willing now
With every passing day
[Pre-Chorus: Caleb Hyles]
I'm a work of amber and rain
All at once forgotten, but refined
The loneliness adds value in time
[Chorus: Caleb Hyles]
And the tragedy is knowing that
We won't know who we are
Because who we are is resting in
The knowledge of "whose" we are
So, if we can accept, live with no regrets
A task too bold to claim
Then maybe, just maybe, with mercy to save me
Community shaping, we'll live this life for peace
[Outro]
I'll live this life for peace
