Indigo Girls Our Deliverance song lyrics

Now we can say that nothings lost

And only change brings 'round the prophecy

Well now it's melting the solid frost

Was once a veil on greener landscapes we would see

Beneath my surface the water's heating

The steam comes up and out the tears you see me shine

For every strange and bitter moment

There was never a better time

For every pleasure exacts its pain

How you hurt me, how you were good to me

Beneath my window a mournful train

That makes me smile at my bad poetry

But beneath my surface a song is rising

And it may be simple well it hides it's true intent

We may be a looking for our deliverance

But it has already been sent

It's in the nightfall when the light falls

And what you've seen isn't there anymore

It's in our blind trust, love will find us

Just like it has before

They're sending soldiers to distant places

X's and O's on someones drawing board

Like green and plastic but with human faces

And they want to tell you it's a merciful sword

But with all the blood newly dried in the desert

Can we not fertilize the land with something else

There is no nation by God exempted

Lay down your weapons and love your neighbor as yourself

It's in the nightfall when the light falls

And what you've seen isn't there anymore

It's through our blind trust that love will find us

Just like it has before
