If heaven watches over me
Sowing seeds back in the soil
With eyes that see, hands that feel
Why am I the last to know ?
Sheltered lives spent partially breathing
Are gathered together under new religion
Pulling punches. Sleeping on our feet
Pulling punches. I needed someone to comfort me
Raised in summer days of splendour
Who would've dreamed of love never ending ?
A better world lies in front of me
A sketch of life in the books I read
Then as I walk where heaven leads
Why am I the last to know ?
Simple lives spent partially breathing
Are gathered together under new religion
Pulling punches. Sleeping on our feet
Pulling punches. I needed someone to comfort me
Raised in summer days of splendour
Who would've dreamed of love never ending ?
Nature feeds this nausea
Deep inside the heart of me
Sheltered lives spent partially breathing
Are gathered together under new religion
Pulling punches. Sleeping on our feet
Pulling punches. I needed someone to comfort me
Raised in summer days of splendour
Who would've dreamed of love never ending ?
