Nothing but the Light

standing alone now
standing at last
after the war and the
winter have passed
blood in the fields
and trembling fires
but all is forgiven
breathe, breathe
turn your face toward the sky
there’s nothing but the light
when you were falling
you were held
when all was burning
there were bells
sing out a new song the old one is gone
and love, love is beside you
breathe, breathe
all the seeming darkness is disguise
there’s nothing but the light
so this is a schoolyard and no one survives
the terrible beauty of being alive
let it move you, let it come through
the stream is never-ending
breathe, breathe
eternity is written into time
there’s nothing but the light
