Arrival 05:08
There I lay beneath the dirt Inside a casket hand crafted for me by the world I almost had as much hope as the air I could breathe You swooped down and tore open the ground fierce was your pursuit for me By then I was just dust and dry bones But I was made whole by your carpentry and moulded by your father's pottery now I can never look back at my cemetary except to call out to those who shared it with me with hope in my chest and faith in my feet I slowly make my way to you On the wings of the wind you flew down bearing the weight of the world on your shoulders You chose neither gold nor precious stone but thornes and thistles fit for a king Though you were surrounded by a cloud of blackness a great white light shone from within And from your sanctuary you heard me cry out So you stood on the edge of the world with open arms Now I stand sure-footed as the deer I exist to know your love As I look toward the sky I wait for the thunder from heaven for I know my home is not far

I can breathe the light I can hear the voice of fire split the sky Embers from above fall on my hands I clench my fists and run forever Is this second wind or is this the starting line? Ashes in the air help me forget my past I look to the heavens Counting countless days, ending endless ways, Run this race Fatigue is just a memory and black and white is here before me I now realise that this is not my day, but yours You've given me eyes but I've kept them closed Clean these windows so I can see outside myself This is a new chapter the pen is in my hand This is now chapter two The leaves are falling I'm starting a fresh and I walk with caution I've moved from the wide city Headed for a place with narrow streets There's something beautiful about weathered walls empty cells have the last laugh Lose my grip and wait for the glass to hit the floor every second gets louder and louder and louder I cant afford to lose focus and let my treasure chest become by tomb Even when i'm not shaking in your presence Even when my heart isn't boilling over into tears Even when the reality of your sacrifice Isn't causing me to freeze in awe I see a path paved with leaves from barren branches the wind makes a way for me I run past every tree, push past everything, its not what I once was but what i've become my stride is what makes me This is the sweetest irony the branches break me but it's the scars that make me Could it be that the very trials and the hardships that I go through are the things that me a better person? Loose my grip and wait for shattered glass every second gets louder and louder and louder I cant afford to lose focus and let my treasure chest become by tomb
