[Verse 1]
They said the sky went quiet
Right before you came
Soft as a Sunday morning
Calling every name
You walked through all our failures
Bare feet on broken ground
You gathered up the outcasts
Turned their silence into sound
[Chorus]
Lady in White
You came down from somewhere higher
Carrying our sorrow like a wire in your hands
Lady in White
Every tear becomes a fire
Burning through the darkness that we built with our own plans
You weep for the weak
You cover the hurt
You’re my mother
My sister
My heart in this earth
Lady in White
You undo our curse
[Verse 2]
You sit beside the dying
Your fingers in their hair
You take the shaking children
And teach them how to dare
You breathe into the bruises
You sing to every scar
And all the ones forgotten
Find they’re known just as they are
[Chorus]
Lady in White
You came down from somewhere higher
Carrying our sorrow like a wire in your hands
Lady in White
Every tear becomes a fire
Burning through the darkness that we built with our own plans
You weep for the weak
You cover the hurt
You’re my mother
My sister
My heart in this earth
Lady in White
You undo our curse
[Bridge]
If the oceans rise
If the cities fall
Will you still be standing
At the edge of it all?
Saying
“Child
I have you
I have you
Stay”
As you gather up the ending
And you give it all away (oh)
[Chorus]
Lady in White
You came down from somewhere higher
Carrying our sorrow like a wire in your hands
Lady in White
Every tear becomes a fire
Burning through the darkness that we built with our own plans
You weep for the weak
You cover the hurt
You’re my mother
My sister
My shelter
My nerve
Lady in White
You undo our curse
