Garrels, Josh - White Owl Lyrics






When the night comes
And you don't know which way to go
Through the shadowlands
And forgotten paths
You will find a road

Like an owl you must fly in moonlight with an open eye
And use your instinct as your guide, to navigate the ways that lays before you
You were born to, take the greatest flight

Like a serpent and a dove, you will have wisdom born of love
And carry visions from above into the places no man dares to follow
Every hollow in the dark of night
Waiting for the light
Take the flame tonight

Cause child the time has come for you to go
You will never be alone
Every dream that you have been shown
Will be like living stone
Building you into a home
A shelter from the storm

Like a messenger of peace, the beauty waits to be released
Upon the sacred path you keep, leading deeper into the unveiling
As your sailing, across the great divide

Like a wolf at midnight howls, you use your voice in darkest hours
To break the silence and the power, holding back the others from their glory
Every story will be written soon
The blood is on the moon
Morning will come soon

Cause child the time has come for you to go
You will never be alone
Every dream that you have been shown
Will be like living stone
Building you into a home
A shelter from the storm

    This song is stunning!  It was sent to me after a story came to me about a little bird who injured its wing, who for a long time lived on the ground with "ground birds," until it was healed. But it never knew when it was truly healed, and it had a fear of flying!  A great white owl came along and out of compassion for the Little Bird, called it to fly. The whole story is here: https://pamelaolivetree.com/the-parable-of-little-bird/

    Am I led to a spiritual artist through YouTube so effortlessly? Am just wanting this to be Christian artist?!?! Love it. No matter! Peace. This is beautiful!

    T.... R....

    It is. check out "Come to the table"! his music is unique, but some songs are so inspiring and comforting. Some touch on darker themes but much beauty too! God Bless!

    4 years since I first heard this song and it still makes me weep. ✨✨✨✨

    The divide of our mind sailing the abyss with jesus

    Beautiful music by a great artist. The video/cartoon on the other hand is occultic trash, full of pedo symbols along the boys “path”. Beware of Daniel and Arian Anderson, hopefully Josh realizes this and sues them! Although the judges and lawsuits are corrupt Freemasons also, really can’t win here in Babylon.

    Unironically the only Christian artist I can tolerate

    Amazing artist but the owl imagery and questionable symbols on the pathway he walks...

    u.... ....

    Hey! Josh gave us a lot of creative freedom on this video...the song is called “White Owl” and he wanted the story to be about being on a journey. None of the symbols are intended to have any other meanings. But if they bother you, blame us (the illustrators/animators) not Josh 👍🏻

    u.... ....

    @Arian Armstrong Just be careful of the Occult imagery. Thanks

    u.... ....

    @Arian Armstrong what was the reasoning to have the swirl symbol on the pathway that he walks?

  10. R.... S....

    These videos are great. I’ve always loved his music, but it’s nice to see this match so well

  11. J.... V....

    Just Like this song it’s awesome 😎

    When the night comes,
    and you don't know which way to go
    Through the shadowlands,
    and forgotten paths,
    you will find a road

    Like an owl you must fly by moonlight with an open eye,
    And use your instinct as a guide, to navigate the ways that lays before you,
    You were born to, take the greatest flight

    Like a serpent and a dove, you will have wisdom born of love
    To carry visions from above into the places no man dares to follow
    Every hollow in the dark of night
    Waiting for the light
    Take the flame tonight

    Child the time has come for you to go
    You will never be alone
    Every dream that you have been shown
    Will be like living stone
    Building you into a home
    A shelter from the storm

    Like a messenger of peace, the beauty waits be released
    Upon the sacred path you keep, leading deeper into the unveiling
    As your sailing, across the great divide

    Like a wolf at midnight howls, you use your voice in darkest hours
    To break the silence and the power, holding back the others from their glory
    Every story will be written soon
    The blood is on the moon
    Morning will come soon

    Child the time has come for you to go
    You will never be alone
    Every dream that you have been shown
    Will be like living stone
    Building you into a home
    A shelter from the storm

  51. E.... A....

    Am I the only one who wasn’t brought here by game awards?

  52. K.... ....

    Wow, I am so amazed how much recognition this song is getting, ever since The Last Campfire. I am so happy... I remember when I first heard this song, it was over 2 years ago. I was alone in my room, deeply depressed and I really didn't want to move on anymore. But browsing through this songs, I listened to this in my bed to sleep and felt such a great comfort that I was overwhelmed. I was still sad, but there was this joy in my heart. I felt hope that maybe it's hard now, but better days may be out there. I hope whoever is out there who is going through the same as I did at that time, that you also feel comfort through this song

  54. d.... G....

    Bon Iver + Jose Gonzalez = this

  55. J.... L....

    In my head, this is a story of a boy taking on the light in his grandpas name (for his family) and when they separate the boy needs to rely on the lessons taught before and find his own way. While his light guides each step he needs help and the floating light is prayer and his family’s faith. Then before he meets the dark mountain the butterflies his finds when he throws the stone is his potential. Finally, rushing up the hill he faces the test of overcoming the crumbling earth and just as the mountain is about to overcome his provision swoops him up and saves him.

  56. W.... C....

    Many of y’all don’t seem to understand this song is about Jesus Josh is a amazing Christian artist sings what Bible says and he doesn’t look for fame

    W.... C....

    We don't care. Music is subjectice.

  57. W.... C....

    Just to let y’all know Josh is one of the most talented Christian artist in the world he is what God had in mind truth of tuff world but Jesus gets us through so it’s all about Jesus

  58. C.... F....

    This tune lets me fly for 5.48 minutes

  59. t.... c....

    spiritual song

  60. T.... C....

    This song sounds amazing!

  61. n.... ....

    I gotta say, this song has really grown on me every time I hear it

  62. Z.... R....

    Games aside, it's kind of irritating that all your religious preferences seem to take too much part in these comments. Feel the music for your own. A good musician should strive for that as well. Or please tell me how I'm wrong... (Without including religious preference please.)

    Z.... R....

    It's a nice song either way, we can like a song for anything we want

  63. B.... ....

    This has to be one of the most beautiful songs of all time

  64. B.... M....

    Do you guys actually hear the words and understand what they mean?

    B.... M....

    @Wylie28 dude you don't gotta be such a jerk off... God uses many things to reach people and music is one of those things. Go listen to more of his music it's always got references to God and the bible and why are you so mad... Obviously you doubt the power of God and you tell me the verse in the bible where it says God doesn't speak through others? THE BIBLE ITSELF WAS WRITTEN BY PEOPLE WHO WERE CHOSEN BY GOD, HE USED THEM TO WRITE HIS WORD... so why can't someone write songs in the same manner?

    B.... M....

    You have too much faith in a bunch of humans. The writers, the translators, and the pastors, all were prone to the telephone game. That is if they even understood to begin with.

    And there is a difference between something be able to, and someone doing something.

    You are reading too much into this song just like you read too much into the bible.

    B.... M....

    Take the first few verses for example.

    7 days.

    Are you kidding me? In English alone a day means 3 separate things. It's a 12 hour-period, a 24 hour period, and the time it takes for a planet to rotate. WHICH DIFFERS FOR EVERY PLANET.

    On top of that. What makes you that was what god even said. What if humans are too stupid to comprehend how long it took? We have trouble with fairly small numbers. He could have just said something else since it's an unimportant detail. Or he could have said how long it really took and was misunderstood. What if the writer said fuck it this detail doesn't matter. Or a dozen other things.

    And when you take the real world into account it paints a very different store. Science shows the earth is much older than the few thousands years you ASSUME it is. (The bible never says this btw)

    What stopped god from creating humans through evolution over a million years? The order of creation are the exact parameters needed for life to evolve as it did on earth. Don't you find it odd the similarities we have of chimps? Dont you find it odd that we can draw evolutionary trees for everything with the SINGLE Exception of humans. There is a large gap there. You don't think it's odd that the one evolutionary tree we have trouble making is of the very same species god supposedly tried to model after himself?

    You are too blinded by your narrowmindeness. When you actually look at the bible for what it is, a book written, translated, and then interpreted by morons (and we are all morons) then ill let you get away with trying to say "the bible says this" But you are taking one persons assumptions (you might have noticed multiple religion use the bible. Wth makes yours more "right") made from an inherently inaccurate record, as explicit fact. And that is stupid.

    B.... M....

    @Wylie28 The guy is a Christian and literally says this song is Christian so....

    B.... M....

    So that means you get to make up meanings to it? Not how that fucking works.

  65. H.... M....

    Que música foda <3

  66. D.... K....

    Lord please forgive me

  67. R.... ....

    Fell in love with this song the second it played in the reveal trailer for "The Last Campfire"

    Since discovering a personal relationship with God..... This seems to be a task He has placed on my heart

  76. L.... H....

    You're singing to my heart. I'm you're newest and biggest fan. Talent that can only come from God, given to you as a gift for us little people to enjoy. You descended from heaven with a harp and a song in your sacred heart. You're one the 144,000 Angels that were standing at the throne of God and you're up front, you're a bright star. Thank you for sharing your soul with us. Keep on singing little black bird. I love you! Thanks for sharing and posting this amazing masterpiece.

    Thanks Hello games for my new favorite song.

  87. f.... b....

    This song makes me feel special somehow...

    f.... b....

    It was written about his walk with the Lord. Josh follows Jesus and the love of Jesus for each of us is the exact kind of love we each invidually desire. He knows the number of hairs are upon your precious head. Are you a follower of Christ? He really is the son. And he really does belong to the father. Xo.

  88. P.... W....

    Lovely song, lovely animation. Thank you.

  89. C.... ....

    Just discovered this by the game awards. This music is perfect, give me the shivers <3
