You’ve got a smile That lifts me out of here When I’m all tripped up And turned around Down in the trenches Where you lift me up again My heart and mind so far away
For the longing the aching and the call There is no denying her at all now
Beauty leads the way Beauty leads the way To the glory of the world We were made for Beauty leads the way
Look in the spaces Where the separation thins To dislocated cracks of light Under the surface Up above it’s all the same You’re everywhere but hard to find
For the longing the aching and the call There is no denying you at all now
Take you by surprise Go right into the flames Measures the sacrifice ‘Cause beauty leads the way
She’s like the morning sun The answer to your shame Rescued from where you were Beauty leads the way
