Sunlight has not found us

Over forty days or more

While the flood outside

Provides no guide

To bring this little boat ashore

Where we are this hour

Is not where we will be

When these liquid days are done

In a turn of light

Like sun on subtle rose

We will see how far we've come

I held my breath to bursting

'Til I found myself inhaled

Three days and nights

To waive my rights

In the belly of a diving whale

Where we are this hour

Is not where we will be

When these liquid days are done

In a turn of light

Like sun on subtle rose

We will see what we've become

See it rising from the sea

I see something

Something that I might have missed

There's a shadow of a cloud now

A cloud no bigger than a big man's fist

There's a shadow of a cloud now

A cloud no bigger than a big man's fist

What we know this hour

Is not what we will know

When these liquid days are done

In a turn of light

Like sun on subtle rose

We will see what's just begun

Rivers, no uprising

And the seas will cease to rage

When the mourning's past

Thank God at last

He's gonna come

And wipe these tears away

Rivers, no uprising

And the seas will cease to rage

When the mourning's past

Thank God at last

He's gonna come

And wipe these tears away...
