Are you given vision, are you second sight?

Are you older than your life?

Eighty days of sorrow, endless more in sight

Still you, child, burn bright



And you see me crying again

And you hold out your little hand

Led me shaking to his room

I thought I'd never see again



Close the door behind you, turning out the light

Press a flashlight up against the wall

You say "This is how we knew him

In a little egg

It opened up and this is daddy now."



Now you're stepping back towards me

Till the room is bathing in light

And the answer there before me

There's no ending when we die



Are you sleeping here beside me?

Are you shining bright as the sky?

Are you breathing now inside me?

There's no ending when we die
