Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wake up to a cracked white ceiling
Bills on the table, faith still breathing
Mama said, “Boy, keep your heart clean”
Even when the rent feels mean
I see a man sleep by the station
I see a kid with a gold relation
Same sun on a million faces
Same hurt in a thousand places
[Pre-Chorus]
We pray with our hands in the dust
We cry, then we get back up
What’s holy lives in the rough
In the broke, in the bruised, in us
[Chorus]
Hands in the dust, hearts in the light
We fall down, we rise
Hands in the dust, hearts in the light
We’re learning how to live this life
Oh, we’re learning how to live this life
(Hands in the dust)
[Verse 2]
I made mistakes I can’t outrun
Said some things I can’t take back
But grace came quiet in the morning
Like a train on an empty track
The world is loud, the nights get heavy
Love gets scared but stays ready
I’ve seen truth in a stranger’s doorway
I’ve seen hope in a child’s “okay”
[Pre-Chorus]
We pray with our hands in the dust
We cry, then we get back up
What’s holy lives in the rough
In the broke, in the bruised, in us
[Chorus]
Hands in the dust, hearts in the light
We fall down, we rise
Hands in the dust, hearts in the light
We’re learning how to live this life
Oh, we’re learning how to live this life
(Hands in the dust)
[Bridge]
If I lose my way, call me back
If I go too far, bring me back
There’s a flame in the humble things
In a meal shared, in a name we sing
So let the tears fall where they must
We are more than skin and rust
We are hope in the middle of loss
We are mercy, we are walking cross
[Final Chorus]
Hands in the dust, hearts in the light
We fall down, we rise
Hands in the dust, hearts in the light
We’re learning how to live this life
Oh, we’re learning how to live this life
(Hands in the dust)
(Hands in the dust)
