lyrics

Visions and dreams
I have seen
While walking roads of sun and shadow

Echoes of babes
Float on the breeze
Something in the wind it calls to me

Whispering
Mysteries
With every step come close

I find their place
In sacred space
The children's song it beckons me

Not everyday
Is the song they sing
For me their song holds prophecy

And the children sang

Give them the tree
Give them the water
Give them the bread so they will know

And if they won't accept the water
Give them the seeds so they will grow.

Again they sing their song to me
Something in their eyes it pierces me
Telling me that my destiny
Lies in their few sweet words

Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, singer/songwriter Nate Hale makes music that is prophetic and painfully truthful, with a melodic, easygoing flow.
