Yes, today is a roll away your stone day
Flex all your muscles, push away that seal
Come on out where the morning's waiting patient
We were made for lilies
Shimmering seas of candles
We were made to live
Now
And I know, know like you know
How those shadows grow long
You forget the meadows
Your fingers ache for hands that don't appear
Orbiting each other like we do
We forget to look long
To touch softly
Lean in closer and closer
Words like love and forever seem hollow now and then
When it doesn't appear that they come true after all
Fairytales become a mockingbird
And all those empty places grow deep and hopeless
A canyon that just keeps plummeting into the core
But today is a roll away your stone day
When it seems like everything that could go wrong, did
Guess again!
Surprise!
Life is back
Strolling through Damascus
Playing jokes on all of it's friends
That place that seemed to hold only an ending
Is cleared out
Death's robes folded up neatly and put away
And those who guarded it are stunned in the sunlight
He's back
Scarred in a way He wasn't before
Like we have known so well
All of us have been, falling into that bottomless veil
Clutching at air
Too scared to pray
Fall turns to flight
He's back
And all of us have been there
Hit the wall so hard it knocked the breath from us
But then...
Dusted it off
Climbed over
Looks like the grass is green on the other side after all
Still holding all that new rain
Heather and sparrows
You and me picnicking on the lawn
Today is a roll away your stone day
Tears can last for the night, as they say
But this is the morning now
Everything you thought was lost
Has always been, will always be
Yours
Someday when we go down to the water
Me and Him, skipping stones
Fingers entwined
No footprints for the ocean to steal away
I might ask Him why He did it, just to hear Him tell the story
I already know the answer
Love, as small of a word as it is
Is big enough
To go to Hell and back inside of
And come out laughing
A thousand times more powerful than you were before
More truly alive than you ever would have been,
Had not you descended so far and so fast
Love bears all things, believes all things
Sends whatever dark there is left
Evaporating like mist when the daybreak reaches it
And if you have love
If you are love
You can travel anywhere
Safe as a song
You can go and come back
And every time you come back
Lighter and lighter and lighter
Becomes the stone
You roll away
Flex all your muscles, push away that seal
Come on out where the morning's waiting patient
We were made for lilies
Shimmering seas of candles
We were made to live
Now
And I know, know like you know
How those shadows grow long
You forget the meadows
Your fingers ache for hands that don't appear
Orbiting each other like we do
We forget to look long
To touch softly
Lean in closer and closer
Words like love and forever seem hollow now and then
