Amen

[Verse 1]
The hearts and knees are worn so thin
The scarves and jackets too
Our eyes are closed to be opened
The backs of blindfolds bruised
Your wallet's lost its minted shine
Your lips have waited pursed
We taste the rain instead of wine
And only feel more thirst

[Chorus]
Well, amen to that, amen to that
Say when to clap our hands and when to cry
And we'll say amen and we'll say amen to that
And we'll say amen and we'll say amen

[Verse 2]
The window's cracked, the door's ajar
The children's mouths are fed
A few worn sandals travel far
The widow makes her bed
It's only dusk, we say at dawn
With hands up, lifted high
The air is our redemption song
We fill our lungs with skies

[Chorus]
Well, amen to that, amen to that
Say when to clap our hands and when to cry
And we'll say amen and we'll say amen to that
And we'll say amen and we'll say amen

[Verse 3]
The silence has you chasing scars
And all the love you lack
The tears you weep are shooting stars
And you can't bring him back

[Bridge]
Get me those old stories
One by one
It goes oh, oh

[Chorus]
Well, amen to that, amen to that
Say when to clap our hands and when to cry
