lyrics

AFTER THIS DAY

Nothing will be the same after this day
The words of David came through
As if it were your voice
How could I not hear
How could I not hear it
So pure and strong
It will remind me
Remind me

A strange mix stuck in my chest
Full stretched feathers heavy to rest
Wings round your neck
Keep you safe
First time I've prayed
First time I've prayed

And I will sing
Over your body as you leave

The light is in your children
You didn't know it came to us
It crossed every water
I had words before
They disappeared

Nothing will be the same after this day
Nothing will be the same after this day

And I will sing
Over your body as you leave
