In the smoky light and in the rain

Working through the night and through the haze

You lay it down each day with heavy eyes

Just to wake again, just as tired

So may every morning find the mercy new

And light enough to shine upon the fallow fields

Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm

Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm

I can see your heart beneath the dirt

You put your weary hands into the work

A needle and a thread to mend the seams

A heartbeat and a breath to plant the seed

So may every morning find the mercy new

And light enough to shine upon the fallow fields

So may every blossom break into the day

Up from underneath the gravel and the clay

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Lift your eyes and see above the leaves

Above the war-torn dreams, I am here

So put your hand in Mine, you're not alone

I'll be by your side, through it all

So may every morning find the mercy new

And light enough to shine upon the fallow fields

So may every blossom break into the day

Up from underneath the gravel and the clay

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh (Oh, lift your eyes)

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh (Up from underneath)

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

So we work the ground and decades pass (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)

Until the first gives way, unto the last (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)

For gardens in the spring, miles of green (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)

To see the seasons healed, the years redeemed (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)

And we will walk these hills like before

And what was sown in tears, we'll reap with joy
