Sleeping At Last
Heaven Breaks
It always starts like this
A harmless and simple thing to fix
Contagious and spreading quick…
Like cracks in ice
Wholly claiming our lives
While we sleep
We'll pray for Heaven's floor to break
Pour the brightest white on blackest space
Come bleeding gloriously through
The clouds and the blue
Forcing one place from two
Killing formulaic views
Only love proves to be the truth
When heaven meets the earth
We will have no use for numbers
To measure who we are and what we're worth
When Heaven meets the earth
We will have no need for mirrors
To tell us who to be
And where we fit into this awkward point of view
When angels meet the earth, may our bodies be light
When angels meet the earth, may our heavy hearts untie
When angels meet the earth, may our bodies be light
May our bodies be light for you
