about

Written by Ben Hall and Samuel Barker (ASCAP)

lyrics

Smoke rises up from the dying fire
Read a passage from the book of John
I’d rather die than call you a liar
But I’ve been waiting far too long

We spilled blood and tasted hunger
Felt the flies circle around our souls
Not much more could go asunder
Not much more that we could hold

In the morning, we’ll be baptized
The healing waters of the Sabine
See the world through a savior’s eyes
Fool ourselves by coming clean
Restless dreams, they come with terrors
Sights the eyes won’t soon forget
Faces of guilt, not much clearer
Than in the glow of our cigarettes

The wrath of Judges comes again
To strengthen the shepherd’s hand
Are the sins of all us men
The worst that we could understand

In the morning, we’ll be baptized
The healing waters of the Sabine
See the world through a savior’s eyes
Fool ourselves by coming clean

A lonesome wind blows across the land above
The sun holds the earth to the flame
Take the life with the hand that held a dove
Wash the knife clean without shame

Because, in the morning, we’ll be baptized
The healing waters of the Sabine
See the world through a savior’s eyes
Fool ourselves by coming clean
