Nothing but the Light - Sarah Slean

standing alone now

standing at last

after the war and the

winter have passed

blood in the fields

and trembling fires

but all is forgiven

breathe, breathe

turn your face toward the sky

there’s nothing but the light

when you were falling

you were held

when all was burning

there were bells

sing out a new song the old one is gone

and love, love is beside you

breathe, breathe

all the seeming darkness is disguise

there’s nothing but the light

so this is a schoolyard and no one survives

the terrible beauty of being alive

let it move you, let it come through

the stream is never-ending

breathe, breathe

eternity is written into time

there’s nothing but the light
