[Verse 1]
We're tossing pennies in the well
Empty pockets all turned out
Happy, shining, blessed are the ones who hunger
When our poverty is plain
I'll try to burn it in my brain
Trace a line around Your face to paint a picture
[Chorus 1]
So further up and further in
We have nowhere else to go
We plant the seeds of toil and tears
It's beauty we will sow
Yeah, blessed are the ones
Oh, blessed are the ones
Blessed are the hungry ones
[Verse 2]
Let's build a house with turned out doors
So we can share what love affords
Pour ourselves out like a wine that we've been saving
So, when our well is running dry
And when we raise our glasses high
Happy, shining are the faces of the thirsty
[Chorus 2]
So further up and further in
We have nowhere else to go
But You give us seeds of toil and tears
It's beauty we will sow
Yeah, blessed are the ones
Oh, blessed are the ones
Blessed are the thirsty ones
[Bridge]
Love is all
Love is all
Love is all, yeah
Love is all
Love is all we need
[Chorus 3]
So further up and further in
We have no place else to go
When all we have is what we need
It's joy that we will sow
And blessed are the ones
Oh, blessed are the ones
Blessed are the hungry ones
[Outro]
Hey, we are blessed
Hey
