Ron Sexsmith- This is how I know…

I think this man is a genius.

From the darkness to a seed of light
From a garden to a sheet of ice
I feel you move in every sunrise
In the trembling of the leaves
This is how I know you’re near me

From the ashes of a broken home
I sent a message to the great unknown
And through the music on the radio
You came to set me free
This is how I know you’re near me

This is how I know our trials are not in vain
This is how I know we’ll rise and love again
This is how I know

From a moment to a sea of days
From an ocean to a single wave
Out of nothing came the miracle
That loved us into being
This is how I know it will be

  1. his face belies the words – if he’s been ‘set free’ and can ‘rise to love again’ then you’d think he might look a little happier about it.

  2. I am moved to jump to Ron’s defence! I also believe him to be a genius. I don’t know many happy people that make music that lifts my heart. From suffering come our profoundest lessons and if we are lucky, glimpses of truth. Check out Speaking with the Angel, God Loves Everyone etc etc too many to list.
