lyrics

A king has a crown
Like a tree has leaves
To keep him in step
With what it all comes to mean

In the dead of night
In the still of the dawn
You wait to believe
What you had already known

And the hills come alive
When you lay on your side
And turn the brown to green
As you feel the moan of what has come to pass

Cuz these walls they breath
When you start to leave
Like the field after the wrath
Cuz the morning came and went too fast
I see you at last

The sum of your days
Adds up to one
Like the blot in the cloud
Makes the muddy rivers run

You come with the wind
And leave with the dust
You’re the the mist in the air
That makes the mighty pillars rust

And the river runs dry when you start to cry
Like the blood unto the earth
As you feel the hurt of today and what came before

There’s a song being sung that brings us to one
And silence begins the way
Your tongue has no tone like a child who cannot play
You have nothing to say
