lyrics

Love will bring you to your knees
To sow the seeds of grace
Your heart I’ve made of earth and sea
And your eyes are time and space

Like a carpenter I carved your hands
From driftwood from the deep
And I placed my veins inside your dreams
To woo you while you sleep

And in your heart I've placed a journey
And like a garden it will grow
And when you taste the fruits of bravery
I will part the seas below

I composed your bones from symphonies
And I danced to form your name
From the womb you leapt in innocence
And your innocence remains

For I’ve ransomed you upon my blood
From the wilderness of pain
With fire by night I’ll lead you home
And you’ll know you’re mine again

And in your heart I've placed a journey
And like a garden it will grow
And when you taste the fruits of bravery
I will part the seas below

Your heart is my promised land
