Fallen Leaves
[Verse 1]
I made my bed
Among the fallen leaves
I wait there now
And tears will soak my feet
[Refrain]
Keeping me warm
Keeping me honest in the mean time
Showing me what love looks like
Welcoming arms of those that I killed
[Verse 2]
You dressed yourself
With flowers of the field
I held my breath
In fear I couldn't yield
[Pre-Chorus]
Heavenly Father
Why do we boast in our otherness?
Why do we fool our brothers with
Welcoming arms if
[Chorus]
You alone knew this form would inspire
Lover's arms, heavenly Father
You alone call the warmth it provides
Beautiful, heavenly Father
If I threw at some art You've designed
Let me mourn, heavenly Father
Let me mourn, heavenly Father
[Verse 3]
With foolish pride
They marched out to the sea
Rewashing souls
That you had called clean
[Pre-Chorus]
Heavenly Father
Bittersweet name on my lips now
How did we bruise our brothers with
Welcoming arms if
[Chorus]
You alone knew this form would inspire
Lover's arms, heavenly Father
And You alone call the warmth it provides
Beautiful, heavenly Father
If I threw at some art You've designed
Let me mourn, heavenly Father
Let me mourn, heavenly Father
Let me mourn, heavenly Father
