lyrics

Take this song and make it fly
Take these words in dead of night
Take these eyes, let them cry
Take these fragments of the light
Take this mirror make it shine
Take this heart upon a chain
Turn this water into wine
Take these tears and make them rain

Take these walls and tear them down
Take this cage in which I keep
Bright things in prison brown
That might be dead or just asleep
Break the lock and swing that door
Lead them out into the day
Lift them from the threshing floor
Cast these golden seeds away

Take this bread and take this wine
Take this time and take this place
Make them more or less divine
Through the hands that interlace
Take this driftwood by the shore
Take this bird with broken wing
Take this darkness at the door
Touch this earth and make it sing.
