Brick And Mortar Lyrics

Hope for stillness

Hope for silence

Hope for calm in this valley of death

It takes long nights

It takes tired eyes

To heal bloody wounds from the past

Brick and mortar can't hold these walls

I'll find you, my love

Through the smoke and the ash

I'll find you, my love

Hope for bones

Hope for skin

Hope these bones rise up in their time

It takes kneeling

It takes dying

To find life in enemy's eyes

Brick and mortar can't hold these walls

I'll find you, my love

Through the smoke and the ash

I'll find you, my love

Hope for breath

Hope for dust

Hope my lungs fill with time for your love

It takes plowing

It takes cracked hands

To grow seeds worth sharing their fruit

Brick and mortar can't hold these walls

I'll find you, my love

Through the smoke and the ash

I'll find you, my love
