LYRICS:

Raise Your Heart

Raise your heart
from the floor of death
to a lasting picture,
to the final breath.
The way she turned
when the lamp was lit,
to how you stood by
and weathered it.

We fall together when we fall apart.
Is there a reason to raise your heart?
Raise your heart.

Raise your heart
from the aching day
to Autumn's colors
as they blow away,
to blowing pages,
spinning clocks,
the fall of water
onto fallen rocks.

They fall together when they fall apart;
to each a season, so raise your heart.
Raise your heart.

Raise your heart
from a cage of bone
to a breakfast table
where you're not alone.
From passion's moment,
a wealth of blood.
A tear of feeling
and then a flood.

It falls together when it falls apart,
each new beginning, so raise your heart.
Raise your heart.
