amos story

 

Amos Story is a song written by Aaron Ivey. Aaron wrote this beautiful song when he and his wife Jamie were waiting to bring home two of their children, Amos and Story, from Haiti.

 

The lyrics are so touching to me....I'll find a way to get your here, if it takes my fleeting breath... Close your eyes and dream of a better day with me.

 

My heart is in Ethiopia, and this song is where I am at.



 

 

Another photograph to wrestle in my head
Another sleepless night on concrete featherbed
These thoughts of you like bullets to my soul
We've got to find a way to get you home

 

CHORUS:

I'll find a way to get you here
If it takes my fleeting breath
Another sunrise hits the ground
And it's a dark lonely sight
Lightyears away I hope you know
There is somebody searching
For the way to get you here

I will get you here

Throw the clocks away and run out to the street

We'll fly to distant clouds where it's just you and me
A day will come when all of this is gone

You've got to find a way to believe

 

CHORUS

 

Close your eyes and dream of a better day with me
As angels hold you tight, may you sleep in peace tonight

So dream, dream, dream my child
Hear the whisperings of hope

It's a song that you can sing, as you sleep in peace tonight
