Hymn - Duncan Sheik

All the storms and oceans

All the sheltering sky

All this earth and she and I

Wait until it happens

Wait, the moment will come

Wait, but all those are already one

And she asks me

How many sunrises

Will we watch from start to finish

How many will we witness?

And my answers

Are only ever surmises

Maybe a handful of times

…Before the next life

Here, we stop beneath the leaves

Here, a moment to stay

Here, a gift of pale green color

Here above her

And she asks me

How many sunrises

Will we watch from start to finish

How many will we witness?

And my answers

Are only ever surmises

Maybe a handful of times

…Before the next life

A kiss, prayer, a laugh, a song

She won’t try to tell me what’s right from wrong

A song, a laugh, a prayer, a kiss

She won’t try to tell me I need more than this

All my answers

And all my surmises

Will never do it justice

She’ll just have to trust it

We’ll wait here

Until the sun rises

We’ll watch from start to finish

With no one as our witness
