The aero-time shoots forward though it moves through repitition
The heartbeat of a lark or a lark in my heartbeat, hey, hey, hey, hey
What is it that drives the driven snow now
Upon his temples will I rest my weary hopes now
The rain distills then steeples fills the years of lonely church mice
With the heartbeat of a lark or a lark in my heartbeat, hey, hey, hey, hey

I am assured, yes, I am assured, yes, I am assured peace will come to me
A peace that can, yes, surpass the speed, yes, of my understanding
