Sinews

It’s the same sky
Hanging over me
That’s hanging over you
It’s the same blood
Running through my veins
That was given to me from you

So what divides
The left hand from right
Our flesh from sinews that were
Once so intertwined
What’s come between
Our lips and teeth?
We used to pray there side by side

It’s the same bread
And wine combined
That’s mixed on both our tongues
It’s the same page
You used to read to me
That has made me your enemy

So what divides
The left hand from right
Our flesh from sinews that were
Once so intertwined
What’s come between
Our lips and teeth?
We used to pray there side by side

Whose kingdom is coming?
Who are we becoming?

So what divides
The left hand from right
Our flesh from sinews that were
Once so intertwined
What’s come between
Our lips and teeth?
We used to pray there side by side

So what divides
Your hand from mine
Clenched fists from fingers
That were once so intertwined
What’s come between
You and me
We used to hold our hands so tight

Whose kingdom is coming?
Who are we becoming?
