Why not just sleep forever, somewhere discreet? I hold my hands to my chest, But I feel a steady beat, I feel a man who's blessed
Holes into the heavens, gently dotted in the sky Gateways to my heart piercing through to where I lie The only sound is a distant hum, as a city sleeps I'm overcome In audience of such majesty, I wouldn't mind to die
Lay me down in the sleeping grass As the summer air breathes slowly past Your hand in mine we count the stars Your hand in mine, this moment is ours
Away from the noise, away from it all Staring into the sky no longer feeling so small I hold my hands to my chest I feel a steady beat I know I'm blessed
As you lay me down, in the sleeping grass For a moment all fear has come to pass In this moment we sing as the stars come out In this moment I see beyond any doubt
As you lay me down I feel a surging beat As you lay me down
Holes into the heavens, gently dotted in the sky Gateways to my heart The only sound, a distant hum, as a city sleeps I'm overcome I'm overcome
In this moment we sing as the stars come out In this moment I see beyond any doubt
