lyrics

Where did the sun go?
I didn’t notice
I only turned
Around for a moment

To wipe the sleep from my eyes
Now I’m staring deep into eastern skies
Longing for the light the horizon hides

There’s something strange here
Who is this really?
I’ve already told you
And you won’t believe me

Look deeper into these eyes
Hear them scream of all they’ve not seen
There’s no mistaking this sound
I’m just waiting for my mind to turn you around

Who are you? Where have you gone?
Who heals with dirt and breaks the dawn
Why did you cover what’s already hidden?
What's this gift without the one who’s given?

I can hardly believe these eyes
That look on the dead and raise it to life
Drawn from a sleepless dream
Fully awake and alive to see the one who sees me
To see who sees me

I had heard
But I didn’t notice
Now the light
Pulls into focus
