Lately death's been on my mind
But it's not quite what you'd think
It's not war and desolation
Not a soul pushed to the brink
It's not a day that's lonely
Not a stumble in the dark
But instead a passage from your pain
To the flicker in your heart
Cause I've been thinking
We're headed to the edge of a cliff but
But now I know that
We're walking to the bottom of the steps with
Blue skies waiting
A new creation
Set apart from stormy seas
Lately I've been aching
But I think that's just for me
For dinners and celebrations
For our table's empty seat
But I can't weep for one who
Has headed to the peak
Cause I may wait for them
But there's no wait in peace
Cause all this thinking
Of slipping off the cliff
Is wrong, we're straying
Til we're risen to ascent where
The blue sky's waiting
A new creation
Where brokenness fades from the scene
And love is reigning
Life is painless
You don't need to wait for peace
Cause if we're thinking
We're headed to the edge of a cliff
We're wrong, we're walking
To the bottom of the steps with
Blue skies waiting
A new creation
Set apart from stormy seas
And love is reigning
Life is painless
You don't need to wait for peace
You don't need to wait for peace
But it's not quite what you'd think
It's not war and desolation
Not a soul pushed to the brink
It's not a day that's lonely
Not a stumble in the dark
But instead a passage from your pain
To the flicker in your heart
Cause I've been thinking
We're headed to the edge of a cliff but
But now I know that
We're walking to the bottom of the steps with
Blue skies waiting
A new creation
Set apart from stormy seas
Lately I've been aching
But I think that's just for me
For dinners and celebrations
For our table's empty seat
But I can't weep for one who
Has headed to the peak
Cause I may wait for them
But there's no wait in peace
Cause all this thinking
Of slipping off the cliff
Is wrong, we're straying
Til we're risen to ascent where
The blue sky's waiting
A new creation
Where brokenness fades from the scene
And love is reigning
Life is painless
You don't need to wait for peace
Cause if we're thinking
We're headed to the edge of a cliff
We're wrong, we're walking
To the bottom of the steps with
Blue skies waiting
A new creation
Set apart from stormy seas
And love is reigning
Life is painless
You don't need to wait for peace
You don't need to wait for peace
