Of the joy that they have found
Holding out for something less
Closer than this life, falling through again
Giving more than anything that you could hope to win
Closer than this life, closer finally
Closer than this life, falling through again
Closer than the things that you hold dearly and in vain
And on the inside he is frightened
Giving more than anything that you could hope to win
And what would you intend to find?
It's never easy letting go
Even closer than this life, closer than your faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly and in vain
At a loss for what to do
Living for the only thing
To the room they painted blue
Even closer than this life, closer than this faith
And he knows his life is changing
As the child before you grows
Than touching the hand of God?
He gets up without her waking
Giving more than anything that you could hope to win
For the first time you are mortal
And he wonders at the sight
Closer than the things that you hold dearly and in vain
Until he opens up his eyes
You ever made complete, oh, for the one thing
Closer than this life, falling through again
Even closer than this life, closer than your faith
And the angels all look down
Solitude? Your peace of mind?
Through the shadows in the hallway
To the voices in his head
