[Verse 1]
Hole in the world
I can hear dead loved-ones breathing
Hole in the world
Marble corridors and angels
I've been looking for Your Holy Face
Through a window draped in lace
A vision of amazing grace

[Chorus 1]
A lump in the throat and a bush on fire
Dove coming down from the sky
An itch in the feet, and a helpless hunger
Inside, outside

[Verse 2]
Hole in the world
Here every tongue cries "Christ is risen"
Hole in the world
I see old enemies embracing
Moonlight falling on the blistered glass
Someone whispers, "Here at last"
That's when I saw Your shadow pass

[Chorus 2]
A bump in the night, then an open border
Bus ride over the moon
A swim upstream in the living water
Inside, outside

[Verse 3]
Hole in the world
Mysteries and myths and wonders
(I've been looking for Your Holy Face
Through a window draped in lace)
Hole in the world
Streets of gold and blood of martyrs
(Moonlight falling on the blistered glass)
Lightning flashes 'cross the purple sky
I strike the nail and watch You die
I'm drowning in the tears I cry

[Chorus 3]
My heart is aching, and my legs are broken
Waiting for the hand in the dark
The table is set, and the door is open
Inside, outside

[Outro]
Hole in the world
Hole in the world
Hole in the world
Hole in the world
