The morning sun breaks through these open skies
And I can feel you by my side
I’m so scared of what we could lose
And as the summer moves across the skies
Shadows break upon my eyes
I hear you say goodbye
It’s not right that you might leave me
Though you say you’ll always need me
I know the mornings just an hour away
So won’t you save me from these tears of rage?
And catch me if I fall again
Cos the mornings still another hour away
Friend companion lay me bare
These sleepy eyes can only stare
Just don’t believe I’m ever fooling you
Cos floods and earthquakes even wars
Won’t keep me from your sacred shores
I’ll hide behind your perfection and your pain
The morning sun breaks through these open skies
And I can feel you by my side
Should we celebrate just being here?
