Earth - Sleeping At Last

I dig 'til my shovel tells a secret

Swear to the earth that I will keep it

Brush off the dirt

And let my change of heart occur

Sold soon after the appraisal

The hammer struck the auction table

Louder than anything I've ever heard

Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house

But I put it out of my mind

Long enough to call it courage

To live without a lifeline

I bend the definition

Of faith to exonerate my blind eye

'Til the sirens sound I'm safe

Meanwhile my family's taking shelter

The sparks send the fire down the wire

A countdown begins

Until the dynamite gives in

The echo as wide as the equator

Travels through a world of built up anger

Too late to pull itself together now

Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house

But I put it out of my mind

Long enough to call it courage

To live without a lifeline

I bend the definition

Of faith to exonerate my blind eye

'Til the sirens sound I'm safe

There was an earthquake

There was an avalanche of change

We were so afraid

We cried ourselves a hurricane

There were floods

Tidal waves over us

So we folded our hands and prayed

Like a domino

These wildfires grow and grow

Until a brand new world takes shape

Fault lines tremble underneath our glass house

But I put it out of my mind

Long enough to call it courage

To live without a lifeline

I bend the definition

Of faith to exonerate my blind eye

'Til the sirens sound I'm safe

'Til the sirens sound I'm safe

'Til the sirens sound I'm safe
