EmClouds descend on Dgrass grown wild
EmTall and grand, Dlush in hand
EmThey bend in air as Dman in prayer
EmI'm weaving throuDgh, trying to get to you
[Chorus]
EmI'm running pasCt birds of dawnG  
They sing like heaDven, they're leading on
[Verse]
EmYet I don't see slow mDotioned wings
Like Emgold in sun, how it Dcould be won
EmWhite as snow silk-fDeathered doves
EmEternal gloDw, they easily know
[Chorus]
EmThat life is granCd in all its shapGes
Wether it giveDs, wether it takes
EmThat I am youC, you are meG, and
Loving graDce can set us free
EmFrom sprinting faCr, above, beyonGd
Being our owDn strong magic wand

EmI’m pushing through, though Dknowing this
EmThinking it all falls behind the Dnext abyss
I’ll Emget there soon and Ddwell there some
’Til it’s Emtime for the next Dcloud to come
