[Verse]

I'm turning out the lights

To remember how to see

Until a renaissance takes place

And resuscitates the color of paint and divinity



[Verse]

As if God hid the building blocks

Of every beautiful thing

In this game of hide and seek

I can't help but think that ordinary has swallowed the key



[Bridge]

Bodies fashioned out of dirt and dust

For a moment we get to be glorious

Ice sculptures adorned in light

Sand castles built tall in between the tides



[Chorus]

Maybe I'm hiding behind metaphor

Maybe my heart needs to break to be sure

One day I'll wear it all on my sleeve

The insignificant with the sacred unique



[Verse]

But I've fallen in love with a ghost

And I lost my balance when I needed it most

This blurry photograph is proof

Of what I'm not sure but it feels like truth



[Verse]

I'm stuck swimming in shadows down here

It's been forever since I came up for air

Flashlight in hand determined to find

Authenticity only poetry could even begin

To try to describe



[Bridge]

Bodies fashioned out of dirt and dust

For a moment we get to be glorious

Get to be glorious

Get to be glorious



[Outro]

What if we already are

Who we've been dying to become

In certain light I can plainly see

A reflection of magnificence

Hidden in you

Maybe even in me
