i left home for college
he left cause he killed a man
we found more than we were ready for
more than we could comprehend

i envy him – how he stood there
staring at proof of God’s plan
how he doubted, and still believed
how he led the slaves from that land

where is that sign
that sends me on my way
signs of the time
don’t seem to speak through flames

but, God, i’m listening – why can’t i hear
when You speak – make it clear

i fear unpopularity
he hid from the wrath in the land
i am shown my potential
he knew he was the weakest man

i want an angel here telling me
i have the strength to succeed
and i want to test You when i can’t believe
You are choosing me to lead

where is my sign
that tells me what to be
signs of the time
don’t seem to dry my fleece

God, i’m listening – and i can’t hear
when You speak – will you make it clear?
