[Verse 1]
You fold your hands so still
like the room can hear
You speak to the ceiling
and lose all fear
I watch your mouth move soft
like a door shutting clean
While my mind runs wild
through every unseen
[Pre-Chorus]
You say there’s a light
on the other side
I say there’s a hole
I can’t step inside
You rest in the promise
I shake in the cold
You call it forever
I call it unknown
[Chorus]
Amen, amen
you sleep in the light
Amen, amen
I fight through the night
Amen, amen
you’re safe where you stand
Amen, amen
I reach for your hand
[Verse 2]
You leave a cup by the sink
and kneel by the bed
I stare at the ceiling
with a riot in my head
You talk to your mother
like she’s close enough
I hear every silence
and it cuts too rough
[Pre-Chorus]
You say I’ll be held
when the end comes near
But I still wake up
frozen in fear
You give it a name
and that makes it small
I sit with the shadow
and feel it all
[Chorus]
Amen, amen
you sleep in the light
Amen, amen
I fight through the night
Amen, amen
you’re safe where you stand
Amen, amen
I reach for your hand
[Bridge]
If I could borrow
your easy belief
I’d lay down this panic
I’d finally breathe
But I am the tremble
you never can see
The girl at the edge
of a broken sea
So stay in your prayer
and don’t turn away
When my hands start shaking
please let me stay
[Final Chorus]
Amen, amen
you sleep in the light
Amen, amen
I fight through the night
Amen, amen
you’re safe where you stand
Amen, amen
don’t let go of my hand
Amen, amen
I’m learning to stand
Amen, amen
in the dark where I am
