The song I couldn't write

You were the morning sun
Rising in the east and setting in the west
You were the evening moon
Above me as I lay me down to rest
You were the ocean
You were the sea
You were the river
Flowing effortlessly
And you were every star shining in the sky at night
You were the song I couldn’t write

You were my heart and my soul
Beating in my chest like a battle drum
You were the judgment and the sentence
From the master on the day of kingdom come
You were the darkness
You were the unknown
You were the beacon of light
Shining as I made my way home
You were every prayer that I prayed with all my might
You were the song I couldn’t write

You were the rock and the tree
That has been around since the dawn of man
You were the flower in the garden  
Sprouting from the earth when the world began
You were the lion
You were the bear
You were the dolphin
Flying through the air
And out of the water just like a bird in flight
You were the song I couldn’t write

You were the scripture and the word
That was spoken by the Lord
You were the major and the minor
You were every musical chord
You were the guitar
You were the piano
You were the drums
And every other instrument I don’t know
You were every lyric I couldn’t pen on paper white
You were the song I couldn’t write

You were the first breath
Breathing from the lungs of a newborn
You were the final breath
You were the rose and you were the thorn
You were heaven
And you were hell
You were the life in between
Where upon me the rain always fell
You were an angel in the form of pure sunlight
You were the song I couldn’t write
