While The Sparrow Sleeps - A Plea for Purging

Outside these city walls I sing

While the sparrow sleeps

These hands couldn’t raise any higher

This heart couldn’t find a deeper hole

With your blood on my hands

I speak more about you than with you

The work of my hands is not yet my prayer

If a song is just a song, will my voice be heard

You who are so close

If you would ask, then ask

How high could one man’s praises raise?

My lips are longing for the kiss of your praises

Outside these city walls

I sing while the sparrow sleeps

These hands couldn’t raise any higher

This heart couldn’t find a deeper hole
