lyrics

here is the day, oh perfect day
just underneath the good night
take me to the wonder, day
with sorrows and light,
with sorrows and light

here is a heart, oh beating heart
underneath these old clothes
take me to the mountain, heart
in ribbons and bows,
in ribbons and bows

watch me turn this darkness inside out
well the stars do burn
and the suns do shout
lift up the sky and shake it all out
and we'll begin

here is a word, oh little words
underneath this tongue tied
take me to the question, word
in letters and signs

here is my heart oh beating heart
pinned to my sleeve where it shows
take me to the mountains heart
in ribbons and bows,
in ribbons and bows,
in ribbons and bows.
