lyrics

Something short of sudden,
Arriving just in time,
Fortune, she is smiling,
Just loving how you shine.

Stories give it sense,
Though the plots don't seem to fit.
The drama might escape us,
The mask may never fit.

There are forces working,
To fill up what we lack,
I have heard that angels would do,
Things like that.

And if there is some great divide,
Forever through it, the angels guide.
And if there is still distance more,
They will carry you, as before.

There is no language to the holy,
The sacred lies in the ordinary.
There is no language to the holy,
The sacred lies in the ordinary.

The beautiful unfolding,
Of all there is to know,
Many lives behind us,
And many more to go.

The beautiful unfolding,
Beyond all faith and fact,
Could it be the angels are just,
Things like that?

And if there is some great divide,
Forever through it, the angels guide,
And if there is still distance more,
They will carry you as before.

There is no language to the holy,
The sacred lies in the ordinary.
There is no language to the holy,
The sacred lies in the ordinary.
There is no language to the holy,
The sacred lies in the ordinary.
There is no language to the holy,
The sacred lies in the ordinary.
