Lady in White

[Verse 1]
She walks in the smoke of our sorrows
Bare feet on a broken road
Silver in the fold of her garment
Catching every tear we owe
She gathers the cries of the children
Like sparrows in trembling hands
Whispers over fevered foreheads
“I remember who you are”
[Chorus]
Lady in White
Came down through the fire
Through the sirens and the wire
Just to hold us while we break
Lady in White
You weep where we’re weakest
Lay your heart on our secrets
And you take away the ache
You’re our mother
Our sister
Our safe place
[Verse 2]
She stands where the flood hits hardest
Arms out in the rushing dark
One touch and the shaking slows down
Storms forget why they were mad
She hums over rusted cities
Plants lilies in shattered glass
Stays up through our longest midnights
So we can finally rest
[Chorus]
Lady in White
Came down through the fire
Through the sirens and the wire
Just to hold us while we break
Lady in White
You weep where we’re weakest
Lay your heart on our secrets
And you take away the ache
You’re our mother
Our sister
Our safe place
[Bridge]
Are you tired of carrying heaven?
Are you lonely in our night? (oh)
If I could I’d lift your burden
But you only offer light
You kneel in the ashes beside me
Call me by a softer name
I fall in your endless mercy
And I’m never quite the same
[Chorus]
Lady in White
Came down through the fire
Through the sirens and the wire
Just to hold us while we break
Lady in White
You weep where we’re weakest
Lay your heart on our secrets
And you take away the ache
You’re our mother
Our sister
Our safe place
Lady in White
Stay with us
Till we’re awake
