I found that I find the things that you find

Important rather peculiar

The space in between between you and me

Has grown darker and deep and bigger



Were it not for the knots that we tied long and taught

We might not be hanging around

At opposite ends of a towering span

Over troubled waters below



Down a raging river with a deadly undertow

We circled the moat and you rocked the boat

Like a mighty leviathan of old



With cracks in our feet we beat foreign streets

We got stranded, we canvassed for answers

But the prayers we prayed fell silent and straight

No a savior won't save when commanded



So we marched through the dark

With cast-iron hearts

And all the strength we could muster

With torches in hand we surveyed the land

And stumble one after the other



Damned with blind ambition

To a glass house miles below

And the garden did grow some roots down in droves

And blocked out the sun while it shone



You tied a rope 'round my finger

You hoped for a dead ringer

Yeah you draped it over a towering oak

But the rain came down with a furious sound

And rusted that belt until it broke



So I clawed through the dirt, the soil of the Earth

With bare hands that barely could shovel

And the canyon did flood with water and blood

From a thunderous storm up above



Yes and God spoke clearly for the very first time in my life

And the sounds he made were glorious and great

It was a tidal wave of rhythm
