To Be Sky
Found an ocean but it dried away
Found a rock but it crumbled to dust
Found a valley it was cold as ice
Found a mountain couldn't reach the top

To be lost is to be found
To be sky is ever to go down to the
Ground and earth and earth are bound
To be sky is ever to rise up from the ground

Found a fire but it burnt to ash
Found a lover, lover gave me up
Found a dream left me for dead
Found a heaven wouldn’t let me in

To be lost is to be found
To be sky is ever to go down to the
Ground and earth and earth are bound
To be sky is ever to rise up from the ground

From the ground
From the ground
From the ground
From the ground

How the arc reared above the mist
At the dawn of the morning bright
To the gates of the temple, I rode
Saw the ruins of the kingdom and wept
