C.S. Lewis Song

One more from Brooke Fraser for you guys. This one is called, "C.S. Lewis Song." The first two lines of the first verse and the last two of the second verse are just awesome.

Here are the lyrics

If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy
I can only conclude that I was not made for here
If the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary
Then of course I'll feel nude when to where I'm destined I'm compared

[chorus]
Speak to me in the light of the dawn
Mercy comes with the morning
I will sigh and with all creation groan
As I wait for hope to come for me

Am I lost or just less found? On the straight or on the roundabout of the wrong way?
Is this a soul that stirs in me, is it breaking free, wanting to come alive?
'Cos my comfort would prefer me to be numb
And avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become

[chorus]

[bridge]

For we, we are not long here
Our time is but a breath, so we better breathe it
And I, I was made to live, I was made to love, I was made to know you
Hope is coming for me
Hope He's coming
