Proof - Emily Elbert

Kiss you in the morning when I wake*

Watch a smile as it’s forming on your face

Open the window, breathe in the morning air

Open my eyes, I’m still amazed you are there

Feels like proof that there’s love

Proof that there’s peace

Proof we can be redeemed

Proof that there’s love

Proof that there’s peace

Proof we can be set free

Sliver of sun slips below the great white sea

Cloud shapes changing wildly at such speed

Shimmer of light gleams, shines to the Hollywood hills

Finding this silence amongst such a mess gives me chills

Hiding, rewriting truth

Climbing, calling — you

Drawing dreams though the senses to the heart

Search for a method that quenches in the dark

A dive into untouched waters;

a common thread

Like having a talk with martyrs awake from the dead
