lyrics

waking, sleeping, walking, praying
rhythms repeating
Jesus Christ - the body and the bread sustain me
through the night
write in the pages, tear them out
they will fall where they will
in the quiet of this room

and you read it more than you're supposed to
and you found a way to put it down
and you'll hand it over when you're not through
(but I can't turn the page)
and I'm ready for it now

and I've read much more than I was meant to
and I still have yet to put it down
and I won't hand it to you when I'm through
(but it's already yours)
and I'm ready for it now

and you say, 'it rains in these parts'
but all I've found as I've journeyed on and on
is a dry and arid garden in this heart

but I will not walk away from here
