The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Come down from the stars
Show your human scars
Tell me what it's like to believe
Through my Christ haunted thoughts
That the losses you bought
Are the nights that you peopled with your dreams
Well, I've got no answers
For heartbreaks or cancers
But a savior who suffers them with me
Singing goodbye, olympus
The heart of my maker
Is spread out on the road, the rocks, and the weeds
Come down from your mountain
Your high-rise apartment
And tell me of the God you know who bleeds
And what to tell my daughter
When she asks so many questions
And I fail to fill her heaviness with peace
When I've got no answers
For hurt knees or cancers
But a savior who suffers them with me
Singing goodbye, olympus
The heart of my maker
Is spread out on the road, the rocks, and the weeds
And aphrodite would not weep
Nor zeus would suffer for the weak
But have you come to stand inside my pain?
And all the things I've begged you for
Eternity and evermore
Are hidden with me here beneath the rain
The rain
So shall I plant sequoias
And revel in the soil
Of a crop I know I'll never live to reap?
Then sow my body to my maker
And my heart unto my savior
And spread me on the road, the rocks, and the weeds
Spread me on the road
