Lazarus
Now the world has moved on
Since he called my name nothings the same
As my sister cried
He said, "Lazarus rise." To love and anoint
Or just prove a point
[Chorus]
I'm the one that he saved
I'm the one that he raised
From a dark quiet sleep from peace of the grave
I'm the one who owns much but that no one will touch
Mothers see me and cry
Dogs bare teeth as I walk by
I don't see a veil between heaven and hell
The truth is there's nothing but a warm light and singing
But here in-between a voice haunts my dreams
Martha does what she can but won't look at my hands
[Chorus]
I love the cool mornings I love a hot meal
The pulse of the street night jasmine and clean sheets
I can't sleep of rest I feel lost and hard pressed
I wander these rooms still looking for you
Now I ought to be grateful to drink from the grail
But I don't be belong on either side of this veil
I look down at my hands that are clasped in my lap
When he left this world I thought he'd take me back...
