What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
They have come to haunt the children
2
They have come to walk the wind
3
I can hear them as they rustle through the trees
4
Looking for the love that killed them
5
So that they might live again
6
It's a simple prayer that brings me to my knees
7
With drums and bells and rattles
8
They have caught us in our time
9
To watch the eagle rise up from the fire
10
Now is it true we are possessed
11
By all the ones we leave behind
12
Or is it by their lives we are inspired
13
CHORUS:
14
It's a new light, new day
15
Listening for new meaning learning how to say
16
It's a new place but you've always been here
17
You're just listening to old voices with a new ear
18
It's the livin' and the dyin'
19
Well it scares the young ones so
20
They can hardly catch their breath before too long
21
They see the tears we're crying
22
And they watch the river flow
23
And they follow on the banks until it's gone
24
I surrender to the mountains
25
I surrender to the sea
26
I surrender to the one who calls my name
27
I surrender to my lover and to my enemy
28
I surrender to the face that holds no shame
29
CHORUS
30
There's a spider at my window
31
And she spins a web of truth
32
More beautiful than all those memories
33
And she surely is God's artist
34
As she's caught the morning dew
35
It's a simple prayer that brings me to my knees
