Testo di Lazarus

I can't sing that song the same way anymore Cause I start laughing at the parts where I could only weep before And it sounds sweeter now because the notes can't ring Until they echo through each wasted year that you restored to me I've been thinking of how you wept for lazarus Tears on your cheeks, resurrection on your lips Sometimes mercy can feel like abandonment But you know all about it I used to think I had to write these songs just so For heavens sake and for my own I put myself through hell But I quit striving for perfection; surrendered up to it instead And now the songs keep pouring out and I cannot contain myself I've been thinking of how you wept for lazarus Tears on your cheeks, resurrection on your lips (Broken will) Sometimes mercy feels just like abandonment (Find your rest / broken voice) You let my heart die, but left yours beating in my chest (You sing best) At 30, 000 feet above, the earth was small enough To think of everyone I love And then imagine them a thousand mirrors All reflected back at once And any light would multiply and then remind me That your love is more than the sum
