lyrics

You were crying in your sleep
what were you dreaming?
Was it just nothing?
Or something stirring in the deep?
Here on the surface,
it feels like we’re drifting.

A shoot pushing up out through a crack
a sun-seed that needs to blossom.
A fight for the light defying the night
it’s no time to err toward caution.
You were crying in your sleep
it wasn’t just nothing.

All God’s children got joy
sometimes it’s buried
are we unworthy?
Every girl and every boy
bound to this hour
hurting for power.

A bird in the hand, a line in the sand
a sign that you never noticed.
The sun in your eyes, a naked disguise
and finding it hard to focus.
All God’s children got joy
How did we not know this?

If I could find another way
I would trace it all back today
Somewhere I lost you,
and I fear it’s cost you.

All the wishing in the world
won’t buy a minute
over the limit.
You’ve been praying for a wave
now that you’re in it
you don’t want to swim it.

Rain on the glass and cars gliding past
your temple against the window.
You drifted off and you missed your stop
you wake with a start and don’t know
which way you will go.

You were crying in your sleep
You were crying in your sleep
You were crying in your sleep
what were you dreaming?
