Watershed
At the glowing feast of life
I stood outside so long a stranger,
Aching to partake of all I saw
Spread out before me there;
Now it’s as if I discovered I’m the guest of honor
And the banquet’s bounty always mine to share
CHORUS: And my heart opens like a flower,
Drinking in the sun so long denied,
For my clouds have rolled away
And where once bitter tears I cried
I find a watershed,
And the rivers feed my heart
Well I was taught, and I learned so well that bitter lesson,
I was not to think the sun would ever shine for me
And I believed myself unworthy to be given
All the gifts I freely now receive
CHORUS
Locked up and lost, like some old secret buried treasure
Long unknown, to myself a mystery
My heart’s desire, my soul’s own path and perfect pleasure
Now unfolds here right in front of me
CHORUS
I will go down in the deepest valleys of my sorrow
And I will climb the highest reaches of my dreams
And I’ll rejoice, embracing every moment,
And I’ll drink my fill from life’s free‑flowing streams
CHORUS
