I searched for wisdom in the stars, to kill decisions from afar,
I looked for truth in desperate skies - a twilight screaming empty lies,
I asked for life from Mother Earth, but she refused to give me birth,
I breathed the powers of the air and dared to taste my own despair.

My hope is above and beyond the temporal,
My hope is above and beyond the trees,
I believe in this reality - it doesn't answer what it means to me,
My hope is above and beyond.

Above and beyond.

We revel and bathe in eerie light, to face the chill of darkest night,
Traversing life should make one wise when staring death...death in the eyes I despise.

My hope is above and beyond the temporal,
My hope is above and beyond the trees,
I believe in this reality - it doesn't answer what it means to me,
My hope is above and beyond.

(above and beyond)

My hope is above and beyond the temporal,
My hope is above and beyond the trees,
I believe in this reality - it doesn't answer what it means to me,
My hope is above and beyond,
Our hope is above and beyond the ephemeral,
Our hope is above and beyond the trees,
True meaning lies in ultimacy,
Our souls are restless ' til we're found in Thee,
Our hope is above and beyond.

Our hope is above and beyond,
Our faith is above and beyond,
Our love is above and beyond.
