Pastures New

Beneath the heavens, silently I breath
As ten thousand skies drift higher, higher, higher from me
So full of might, the daylight and the rain
They cleanse my body over, over, over again

Have I been given these hands
Only to plough and to nurture this land
Rich as we are
All of these fields keep stretching so far

Pastures new, and gold is the sun I am borne to
Growing and living in pastures new
Where blue is the sea I am borne to
And green is the grass in this land that I already love

By haze and darkness here have I surveyed
Where nature reaches onward, onward, onward
The untamed kingdom sweetly sings to me
Such peace that rocks me deeper, deeper, deeper to sleep

If I could abandon the doubt
Just stand back and let the wildfires burn out
What would arise
Up from the embers, could it bring life?

Pastures new, and gold is the sun I am borne to
Growing and living in pastures new
Where blue is the sea I am borne to
And green is the grass in this land that I already love

Pastures new, and gold is the sun I am borne to
Growing and living in pastures new
Where blue is the sea I am borne to
And red is the earth in this land that I love
White is the sand that I tower above
And green is the grass in this land that I already love
