lyrics

Old bone dry and thirsty as the barren trees
Dead I lie, here beneath the sun
It's been so long since I've felt the soothing cool
Of the promises I thought would never come

Yet there I was, the very life you gave me
Tossed beyond my reach, returning to the ground
I tugged my roots so they could match my wandering heart
Now I've fallen and your streams cannot be found

Among the red rocks I will greet you with a smile
Cracking lips and all but you will love me still
For you are holy and I am nothing without you
But a broken wineskin, never to be filled

You make me new, you wait until I've heaved my last
And then you breathe into my dusty lungs again
And as I wake and wipe the mud off of my face
You wrap me in your open arms and call me friend

It's true I thirst beyond the border I have set here for myself
Enslaved to craving more
Oh that your streams would not just quench my flaming tongue
But would ignite the one instead you have in store
