Grace

Love, don't bury your hope too deep They said, "This is perfectly normal There is no cause for concern" As they put your life inside a few boxes And drove away with everything you had owned Pleasant enough, they seemed Like they had clearly done this before And when you woke up from your dream There was something that you couldn't ignore It's crazy what they'd have you ignore Love, don't bury your hope too deep Lest it lives on still There's nothing we've got that we get to keep In time your hands will be filled So love, don't bury your hope too deep There's a grief older than you are That you're not the first one to feel If the precious things need our defending, It's 'cause we gave ourselves permission to steal But there's a grace older than you are And you cry its tears on your face Says, "If you're looking for something more lasting Well, be prepared to come in last place Be prepared to come in last place" When they take their axe to the oldest tree And the black sky's empty of stars Believe in what you cannot see When you no longer know where you are So love, don't bury your hope too deep Believe in what you cannot see There's a grace older than you are And the sun will stand still in the sky There's a grace older than you are And he'll wipe every tear from every eye From every eye When sunlight covers the newborn ground And healing closes the scar When everything you lost is finally found Then you'll know where you are Then you'll know where you are Love, don't bury your hope too deep
