lyrics

Measuring all the lines, carving the flow with symmetry
We built our house out of sunlight and sand and memories

I remember the stone in your wedding band, sometimes it’s the little things
We cut a life out of the stone like an offering

I can never get what I, I can never get what I want
I can never get what I, I can never get what I need
I can hear your voice only I can hear your voice only I can
You told me I’m here to be, I know am here to be heeded

Praise the song of the, the song of the sparrow
Taste the blood and the, the blood and the marrow

I am only here just to, I am only here just to serve you
I know I will never, no, I know, I will never deserve you
Laus Deo, Laus Deo, Laus Deo x 4

On the back of a whale whistling a song of surrender
I caught a glimpse like a glowing ember oh
Carry me to the wisdom in your well

There’s a fire in the hearth, we are hale from the harvest
Full of the grace that your passion brought us oh
Follow me down the peaceful middle way

I came last in line
Old clothes and old secrets
No claims clear of mind
No shame and no regrets
Fierce enough to love

I found everything
Could be had from nothing
I found I could sing
My song without rushing
Free enough to leave

I built a new home
From parts once discarded
I raised up my tribe
With all you imparted
Strong enough to thrive
