Mortal - Alive And Awake lyrics

We walk the walls in this freak of flesh

Along the twists of our visceral mesh

Against the powerflow of motionless flood

It's an experience of flesh and blood

I face the wave of this gravity

I face the Beauty in the things I can't see

I face the Weakness that has rendered me strong

I face the fate of my existence head on

Ready to Bleed

Ready to Feel

Ready to Love

Without fear

I, I'm alive, am Alive, I'm alive and Awake!

I pray for wisdom in the days of my Youth

I pray for courage in the presence of Truth

I pray for Grace at each approach of the sun

I pray for peace and for the Kingdom to come

I walk the world in this vessel of flesh

Inside the twists of this viceral mesh

Caught in the powerflow of motionless flood

It's an experience of the flesh and the blood

For all that lives and dies

Entails a sacrifice of love

Though the earth, the surf, the skies

Are gilded with good-byes

Be sure - God is in Control

And when the dead leaves fall

For time will fail us all

Never fail to remember

The One in whom we move and breathe

And have our being

Is the God who's in Control!

How do we die?

How do we sleep?

When we're ready to be human

- without fear
