Lyrics
Chasing Devine Words and Music by Mark Neihart ©2103 Dancing Deer, llc I don’t got much to say, Cause my blue got blown away By a strong wind in my soul A man I’ll call my pain, I saw him standing in the rain On a long a lonely road Like full potential, waiting to explode He moved up to me slow, He had a face that I should know And a strange familiar feel He looked me in my face, then he showed me my disgrace And then he handed me the bill Like full potential, rise up for the kill I’m out chasing, I’m chasing divine You’ll find me chasing, chasing divine And when I’m ready, a taste of sweet in my sweet time. I moved on down the road, through the torrent and the cold And I found myself alone In the distance I could hear, the voice of my own fear And it chilled me to the bone Like full potential, come to take me home I’m out chasing, I’m chasing divine You’ll find me chasing, chasing divine And when I’m ready, a taste of sweet in my sweet time. Then a stillness gripped soul, and I lost all self control As I felt the air grow warm A strange and blinding light, pushed into my sight A tall amorphous form Like full potential, pulled me from the storm. I’m out chasing, I’m chasing divine You’ll find me chasing, chasing divine And when I’m ready, a taste of sweet in my sweet time.
