Shimmering Door

Why do I long for what I've never known? Why does the unknown feel like home? There's something shimmering just out of sight Something is calling me into the light [Verse 1] I was walking through the days like always Never knowing I was looking for a sign Then a flicker in the distance caught me Like a star that shouldn't be there in the night There's a feeling I can't put into words Like a song I've somehow always heard I can't see what's waiting on the other side But something in me wants to step inside [Pre-Chorus] And I hear it calling Softly calling Like it knows the name I wear And I feel it pulling Something stirring Like a truth suspended in the air [Chorus] Why do I long for what I've never known? Why does it feel like I'm not alone? There's a world beyond the shimmer and I Feel it reaching through the quiet of the night What if there's more than I've let myself see? What if there's more waiting here for me? I don't know where this road will go But something is calling And I need to know [Verse 2] There's a voice beyond the veil of silver With a yearning that I feel inside my bones I keep thinking someone must be waiting Someone calling from a place I've never known So I take a step, then I take another Every breath a question of its own And the closer that I get, the stranger How this voice is starting to feel like home [Pre-Chorus 2] Is it someone calling? Someone waiting? Someone I was meant to find? Why does every word they whisper Feel like it's already mine? [Chorus 2] Why do I long for what I've never known? Why does the unknown feel like home? There's a world beyond the shimmer and I Feel it reaching through the quiet of the night What if there's more than I've let myself see? What if there's more waiting here for me? I don't know where this road will go But something is calling And I need to know Maybe I've been sleeping Maybe I've been dreaming Maybe there's a part of me That's waited patiently Wake up, wake up There's so much more to see Wake up, wake up Who are you meant to be? You could be the fire You could be the flame You could move the mountains You thought would never change Faith can start so small A seed beneath the stone And I don't have to know it all To find my way back home And then I hear it clearly The voice I've chased so far It's trembling just like I am It's reaching through the dark And suddenly I wonder As my hand begins to rise What if the one who's calling Has been here all this time? Why do I long for what I've never known? Why does the unknown feel like home? I can feel the shimmer calling me Like a door to all that I could be I don't know what waits beyond the light I don't know what's on the other side But I can hear it I can feel it And I'm done asking why My hand against the shimmer My heart against the unknown One breath between the life I know And the life I've never known I don't know if I'm ready I don't know what I will find But I hear you... I'm coming.
