lyrics
Wait for the darkness to fade, in the morning
The birds start to sing in the shade of a lilac tree
Carrying fruit filled with wine that is heady and sweet
On your lips, let it stain them a ruby red.
Raise your hands to the sky like a flower in bloom,
Open palms, catch the light from the sun
As it bursts through the clouds, in a flash, it is dazzling,
Seared in my mind and inside of my eyes, burning.
Bright, as a spark from a bolt, electricity
Flows through my bones and my blood, it is coursing through
Me and my veins to my heart, to illuminate,
Is this life? Is this love? I’m in ecstasy.
Fill my body with light, from the tops of my toes
To the crown of my head, make me holy.
And warm my blood ’til it boils, ’til it bubbles,
The ice in my heart is starting to melt away.
Raise your hands!
The birds start to sing in the shade of a lilac tree
Carrying fruit filled with wine that is heady and sweet
On your lips, let it stain them a ruby red.
Raise your hands to the sky like a flower in bloom,
Open palms, catch the light from the sun
As it bursts through the clouds, in a flash, it is dazzling,
Seared in my mind and inside of my eyes, burning.
Bright, as a spark from a bolt, electricity
Flows through my bones and my blood, it is coursing through
Me and my veins to my heart, to illuminate,
Is this life? Is this love? I’m in ecstasy.
Fill my body with light, from the tops of my toes
To the crown of my head, make me holy.
And warm my blood ’til it boils, ’til it bubbles,
The ice in my heart is starting to melt away.
Raise your hands!
