[00:01:14] Standing in the ocean with the sun burning low in the west

[00:01:21] Like a fire in the cavernous darkness at the heart of the beast

[00:01:29] With my beliefs and possessions stopped at the frontier in my chest

[00:01:37] At the edge of my country my back to the sea looking east

[00:01:49] Where the search for the truth is conducted with a wink and a nod

[00:01:58] And where power and position are equated with the grace of god

[00:02:05] These times are famine for the soul while for the senses it's a feast

[00:02:13] From the edge of my country as far as you see looking east

[00:02:22] Hunger in the midnight hunger at the stroke of noon

[00:02:30] Hunger in the mansion hunger in the rented room

[00:02:38] Hunger on the TV hunger on the printed page

[00:02:45] And there's a god sized hunger underneath the laughing and the rage

[00:02:53] In the absence of light

[00:02:57] And the deepening night

[00:03:00] Where I wait for the sun

[00:03:04] Looking east

[00:03:41] How long have I left my mind to the powers that be

[00:03:48] How long will it take to find the higher power moving in me

[00:04:19] Power in the insect

[00:04:21] Power in the sea

[00:04:23] Power in the snow falling silently

[00:04:27] Power in the blossom

[00:04:28] Power in the stone

[00:04:30] Power in the song being sung alone

[00:04:34] Power in the wheat field

[00:04:36] Power in the rain

[00:04:38] Power in the sunlight and the hurricane

[00:04:42] Power in the silence

[00:04:44] Power in the flame

[00:04:46] Power in the sound of the lover's name

[00:04:49] The power of the sunrise and the power of a prayer released

[00:04:57] On the edge of my country I pray for the ones with the least

[00:05:05] Hunger in the midnight hunger at the stroke of noon

[00:05:13] Hunger in the banquet hunger in the bride and groom

[00:05:21] Hunger on the TV hunger on the printed page

[00:05:28] And there's a god sized hunger underneath the questions of the age

[00:05:36] And an absence of light

[00:05:40] In the deepening night

[00:05:44] Where I wait for the sun

[00:05:48] Looking east
