Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh In the spirit of David, in the cracks of the walls In the schemes that we're all running We're exposed to the rain coming down from the clouds And the fire that falls from Heaven But our tragedy binds while ignorance hides We all wind up here together Yeah, our bodies are tied and our souls, they are blind Bones broken by the weather Got a lot of bad days still coming our way But it's sweet ever after Wind and waves breaking over our walls But the ship, it don't shatter There'll be a lot of blessing by a life well-lived As you lose what don't matter But the sun's coming up on the stairway to Heaven And it's sweet ever after And it's sweet ever after Woke up terrified in the middle of the night It was storm, our whole house was shaking Didn't know where to hide, the winds howling outside Sounded like everything was breaking Well, our tears fell like rain, and the morning light came In the wake of that disaster Breaking stone in the street, shattered glass in our feet Home splintered by the weather (Listen) got a lot of bad days still coming our way But it's sweet ever after (but it's sweet ever after) Wind and waves breaking over our walls But the ship (but the ship) it don't shatter (it don't shatter) There'll be a lot of blessing by a life well-lived As you lose what don't matter (as you lose what don't matter) But the sun's coming up on the stairway to Heaven And it's sweet ever after And it's sweet ever after If we listen, there's a sound Beneath the footprints In all our towns We're connected Like waves of grain When we break wide open We're all the same When we break open We're all the same Got a lot of bad days still coming our way But it's sweet ever after Wind and waves breaking over our walls But the ship (but the ship) it don't shatter (it don't shatter) There'll be a lot of blessing by a life well-lived As you lose what don't matter (as you lose what don't matter) But the sun's coming up on the stairway to Heaven And it's sweet ever after (and it's sweet ever after) And it's sweet ever after (and it's sweet ever after) And it's sweet ever after (and it's sweet ever after) And it's sweet ever after (and it's sweet ever after)
