[Verse 1]
Spirit, cast a net
There's a burden around my neck
It's clear it weighs me down
With the sorrow of regret

[Refrain]
I have lost religion
Lost the language to rejoice

[Verse 2]
There's a tune here that's older still
Than our traditions heard before
And planted near the shore
None go near it till suffering born

[Refrain]
When I hear it, it calms me down
Blessed lyric, gentle sound
Nothing is truly gone
When wе listen for the song

[Chorus]
Older than wisdom, youngеr than children
Honest conviction felt at our birth
And farther than star light, brighter in your eyes
Nearer and nearer, as clear as time goes on
As life goes on
[Verse 2]
There's a tune here that's older still
Than our traditions heard before
And planted near the shore
None go near it till suffering born

[Refrain]
When I hear it, it calms me down
Blessed lyric, gentle sound
Nothing is truly gone
When we listen for the song

[Chorus]
Older than wisdom, younger than children
Honest conviction felt at our birth
And farther than star light, brighter in your eyes
Nearer and nearer, as clear as time goes on
As life goes on
