Sun and Shield

bitterness is a fault line
envy's a golden calf
idols break
when it all shakes down
and split your heart in half

you weep
you sweep up the pieces
it's your home
you take pride
but once it's clean and empty
my Lord is
calling you outside

I LIFT UP MY EYES
TURN TO THE SUN
THIS IS WHERE MY HELP'S
COMING FROM
IN THE HEIGHTS
OR THE BATTLE
MY SUN, MY SHIELD

and if the sun can blind you
and if a shield means war
and if you give up
before you get up
what were you praying for?

the future's an open window
set in cornerstone
wash off the ash
raise up the banner
this is your true home

I LIFT UP MY EYES
TURN TO THE SUN
THIS IS WHERE MY HELP'S
COMING FROM
IN THE HEIGHTS
OR THE BATTLE
MY SUN, MY SHIELD
TURN TO THE SUN
THIS IS WHERE MY HELP'S
COMING FROM
IN THE HEIGHTS
OR THE BATTLE
MY SUN, MY SHIELD
MY SUN, MY SHIELD

calling you outside
open your eyes
calling you outside
open your eyes

SO LIFT UP YOUR EYES
TURN TO THE SUN
THIS IS WHERE ALL HELP'S
COMING FROM
IN THE HEIGHTS
OR THE BATTLE
OUR SUN, OUR SHIELD

I LIFT UP MY EYES
TURN TO THE SUN
THIS IS WHERE MY HELP'S
COMING FROM

IN THE HEIGHTS
OR THE BATTLEFIELD
MY SUN, MY SHIELD
MY SUN, MY SHIELD
MY SUN, MY SHIELD
MY SUN AND MY SHIELD
