Breaks your knees and leaves you
So the sun can burn you up
And wear you out
It's an angry summer

There's no room to smile
When the face you make
Just before you cry
Looks so young
Like a child

The sun will set on this, my dear
Your labors aren't in vain
You're blistered and you're burned from it
Your wounds are gonna heal

Life on earth will end
For all conceived
And prove to be only
A breath, a mist, a womb
For what's to come
How soon forever arrives

The sun will set on this, my dear
Your labors aren't in vain
You're blistered and you're burned from it
Your wounds are gonna heal

Steadfast, my love, the end is near
Just keep your eyes ahead
Grab hold of me, I'll help you there
You're never on your own
You're never all alone

Life on earth will end
For all conceived
And prove to be only
A breath, a mist, a womb
For what's to come
How soon forever arrives

Breaks your knees and leaves you
So the sun can burn you up
And wear you out
It's an angry summer

Don't look at the past again
The First and Last
Has made everything new
And you are, too
So lift your hands
And let your story be told

Life on earth will end
For all conceived
And prove to be only
A breath, a mist, a womb
For what's to come
How soon forever arrives

Sun will set on this, my dear
Your labors aren't in vain
Forever arrives
You're blistered and you're burned from it
Your wounds are gonna heal
Forever arrives

Sun will set on this, my dear
Your labors aren't in vain

Sun will set on this, my dear (Life on earth will end for all conceived and prove to be only)
Your labors aren't in vain (A breath, a mist, a womb for what's to come, how soon)
Forever arrives
