Waiting for Morning to Come
I still lie awake at night
Dreaming, doubting, reveling
Please, give my hand the words to write, 'cause I just need this off my mind
Please, give my tongue the language to speak
Refuse to bend to this world of blight
Communication
Communication, bleed from my veins to the page
Unlock the capillaries
My inner securities
Given a prevue to all of this pain, I’m only aching from their weight
I’m only aching from their weight
I’m only aching
And I’ll sing about love, even when it’s so hard to trust
Still point towards compassion
Though sometimes I’m scared
And I’ll sing about love, even when it’s so hard to trust
Still point towards compassion
Though sometimes I’m scared
In truth, this is our escape as much as theirs
Dancing, sweating, bleeding
Passion, give my lungs the air to declare your name
'Cause I’ve seen gardens wither in apathy and shame
Seen the prevailing of frozen water over the splitting rock
The sweeping of snow o’er the plains
(And l'll sing about love)
And l'll sing about love, even when it’s so hard to trust
Still point towards compassion
Though sometimes I’m scared of being touched
And l'll sing about love, even when it’s so hard to trust
Still point towards compression
Though sometimes I’m scared of being touched
Give me strength to raise your banner
Testify, “Not all is lost”
Communion, from the crowd to the stage
Baptism in the rhythms
We all lose our way, we all long to be saved, we all bleed the same
We’re only aching from the weight
We're only aching
Give us strength
Give us passion
Baptism in the rhythms
Give us strength
Give us passion
Baptism in the rhythms
Give us strength
Give us passion
So child, take up your courage, quiet your mind
They are only the strains of living, the vibrating of the strings
We have to learn to see the beauty in the struggle, play on when our fingers bleed
I’ll take existence, in all its substance
Count it all a blessing
This life will stretch and grow you
We’re only aching from beating out the time
And no matter how we mistrust the light, we’re all waiting for morning
We're all waiting for morning
