[Verse 1]

Breaks your knees and leaves you so

The sun can burn you up and wear you out

It's an angry summer

There's no room to smile

When the face you make just before you cry

Looks so young like a child

[Chorus 1]

The sun will set on this my dear

Your labors aren't in vain

You're blistered and you're burned from it

Your wounds are gonna heal

[Verse 2]

Life on earth will end for all conceived

And prove to be only a breath

A mist, a womb for what's to come

How soon forever arrives

[Chorus]

The sun will set on this my dear

Your labors aren't in vain

You're blistered and you're burned from it

Your wounds are gonna heal

[Verse 3]

Steadfast my love

The end is near

Just keep your eyes ahead

Grab hold of me

I'll help you there

You're never on your own

You're never all alone

[Chorus]

Life on earth will end for all conceived

And prove to be only a breath

A mist, a womb for what's to come

How soon forever arrives

[Verse 1]

Breaks your knees and leaves you so

The sun can burn you up and wear you out

It's an angry summer

[Verse 4]

Don't look at the past again

The first and last has made everything new

And you are too

So lift your head

And let your story be told

Life on earth will end for all conceived

And prove to be only a breath

A mist, a womb for what's to come

How soon forever arrives

[Bridge]

The sun will set on this my dear

Your labors aren't in vain

You're blistered and you're burned from it

Your wounds are gonna heal (forever arrives)

The sun will set on this my dear

Your labors aren't in vain

[Chorus]

Life on earth will end for all conceived

And prove to be only a breath

A mist, a womb for what's to come

How soon forever arrives
