Home at Last
Faixa 9
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Street lights on the freeway By silver ghost and falling rain All my little polaroids of promises and pain
I kept a room for sorrow with the curtains always drawn Then a whisper cut the night and said you’re almost home I’ve been tracing constellations on a map I couldn’t read But the darkness couldn’t keep the morning from its sea
Oh, at last, when all the shadows pass When every tear is gathered and the night forgets to last Oh, at last You’re more than every past
Jesus, when you call my name I’ll know I’ve come to rest Footsteps on the shoreline Every wave a borrowed breath
I was counting empty seconds Learning how to live with death And then the quiet said your mercy isn’t running out on me There’s a city on the water and its gates are never weak
I can feel the future leaning on the edges of my chest A promise like an anchor saying, child, be at rest
Home at last When all the shadows pass
When every tear is gathered and the night forgets to let Home at last You’re more than every past Jesus, when you call my name I’ll know I’ve come to rest
No more hunger, no more hiding No more graves to dress at dawn You will speak, the sky will open And the sleepers will move along Ooh
Home at last When all the shadows pass
When every wound is mended And the old world breathes its last Home at last Love’s stronger than the past
Jesus, when you take my hand I’ll know I’ve come to rest Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
