Running from Mercy
Oh, sacred patience with my soul abide
There's a rainbow above me that the storm clouds hide
And kind words will never die
'Cause the magic in kindness springs from the love
Love, love
Little acts of kindness and little words of love
Make our earthly home heaven above
And there is no sorrow heaven cannot heal
Abide within, no cross, no crown
Running from mercy, hidden and coy
Swimming upstream, down oceans of joy
Die in the arms of a natural life
Waking our happiness, drowning in light
Waking our happiness, drowning in light
Little acts of kindness, little words of love
Make our earthly home like heaven above
And there is no sorrow heaven cannot heal
Abide within, no cross, no crown
This thing was not born with wings
Slow to stop our ways sing
Running from mercy, hidden and coy
Swimming upstream, down oceans of joy
Die in the arms of a natural life
Waking our happiness, drowning in light
Waking our happiness, drowning in light
Running from mercy, hidden and coy
Swimming upstream, down oceans of joy
Die in the arms of a natural life
Waking our happiness, drowning in light
Waking our happiness, drowning in light
Running from mercy, hidden and coy
Swimming upstream, down oceans of joy
Die in the arms of a natural life
Waking our happiness, drowning in light (you, you wake up)
Waking our happiness, drowning in light
Come on boy
Come on
Don't you stop her
Don't you stop her
There's the door
I've got the door
I know where that door is
Just follow me
When you wake up, way up
Come on with me
Tomorrow
There's a rainbow above me that the storm clouds hide
And kind words will never die
'Cause the magic in kindness springs from the love
Love, love
Little acts of kindness and little words of love
Make our earthly home heaven above
And there is no sorrow heaven cannot heal
Abide within, no cross, no crown
Running from mercy, hidden and coy
Swimming upstream, down oceans of joy
Die in the arms of a natural life
Waking our happiness, drowning in light
Waking our happiness, drowning in light
Little acts of kindness, little words of love
Make our earthly home like heaven above
And there is no sorrow heaven cannot heal
Abide within, no cross, no crown
This thing was not born with wings
Slow to stop our ways sing
Running from mercy, hidden and coy
Swimming upstream, down oceans of joy
Die in the arms of a natural life
Waking our happiness, drowning in light
Waking our happiness, drowning in light
Running from mercy, hidden and coy
Swimming upstream, down oceans of joy
Die in the arms of a natural life
Waking our happiness, drowning in light
Waking our happiness, drowning in light
Running from mercy, hidden and coy
Swimming upstream, down oceans of joy
Die in the arms of a natural life
Waking our happiness, drowning in light (you, you wake up)
Waking our happiness, drowning in light
Come on boy
Come on
Don't you stop her
Don't you stop her
There's the door
I've got the door
I know where that door is
Just follow me
When you wake up, way up
Come on with me
Tomorrow
