Indigo Girls - Our Deliverance lyrics

Now we can say that nothing's lost and only change brings round the prophecy

Where now it's melting, the solid frost was once a veil on greener landscapes we would see

Beneath my surface the water's heating

And steam comes up and out the tears you see me shine

For every strange and bitter moment there was never a better time

For every pleasure exacts its pain

How you hurt me how you were good to me

Beneath my window a mournful train that makes me smile at my bad poetry

Beneath my surface a song is rising

It may be simple while it hides its true intent

We may be looking for our deliverance but it has already been sent

It's in the night fall when the light falls

And what you've seen isn't there anymore

It's in our blind trust that love will find us

Just like it has before

They're sending soldiers to distant places

X's and O's on someone's drawing board

Like green and plastic but with human faces

And they want to tell you it's a merciful sword

But with all the blood newly dried in the desert

Can we not fertilize the land with something else

There is no nation by god exempted

Lay down your weapons and love your neighbor as yourself

In the night fall when the light falls

And what you've seen isn't there anymore

It's through our blind trust that love will find us

Just like it has before
