Our Friends Appear Like The Dawn

Our friends appear like the dawn

A flock of sheep and a flock of boars

And though I slept my heart lay awake

And cried out "Oh Lord, don't delay!"



Then He spoke and the locusts came

Water gushed out from the the rock

He breathed and the face of the earth was renewed 

The depths of the oceans convulsed



You do not need to own guitars

You do not need a set of drums

All you need is your throat and mind

To lift noise up to God



Oh, please do not forsake me

Where is your finger upon my lips?

And though I sleep in the dirt and the leaves

Please touch my heart with your tongue



You do not need to own guitars

You do not need a set of drums

All you need is your throat and mind

To lift noise up to God

Lord, remember my song in the night

And remember my outstretched hands

And the way that I wanted to groan

How I did all these things



All the world is ridiculous

What I see burdens my heart

There's a wreath made of hands

And the porch where we spent our time

Lies in ruins and our house is burned

Our friends necks, they are outstretched

And our neighbors plot against us

I can not understand all this

Please take us to glory, Lord, do not delay



Now he appears like the dawn

Shoulders all blazing with light

And though I slept my heart lay awake

And cried out "Oh Lord, don't delay"



He spoke and the locusts came out of the sky

Water gushed out from the rock



He breathed and the face of the earth was renewed

The depths of the oceans convulsed



Now
