I look for miles over the open seas
This world ain’t as pretty as it was
Hypnotized by the rays of the earthly dreams
Going through the motions just because

Lord I’m a thousand miles away from your throne
Lost within this desert land alone
Hard to swallow the seeds that we’ve sown
But you give life and breathe to a singing stone

… But you give life and breathe to a singing stone

So take me back to how you made it to be
When you brought to life the stars and galaxies
I once was blind but now Lord now I see
You came in death to set the captives free

… You give life and breathe to a singing stone
…you give life and breathe to a singing stone
