4o Days

Verse 1

Waiting for a train

To come and take me somewhere far, so far away

Wishing life did not need me to be this brave

In the present tense

Waiting for the pain

To break like rain clouds that have gathered too much rain

To heal the thirsty ground that's waiting for the day

It feels whole again

Chorus

Forty days of night 

Waiting in the wilderness for signs of life

The devil's got his sights set on my peace of mind

And I don't know when he'll go

Forty days of tears

Wandering through the wilderness for forty years

I wonder if I'll see my shadow twice this year

As I wait for morning's light

Verse 2

Waiting for the day 

That I wake up and I'm not sad to be awake

That I'm not looking to some sleep to find relief 

From this hole I'm in

Waiting for the place 

Where love is shining like the summer on my face

Where headstones crumble as the trumpets start to play

This is amazing grace

Chorus

Forty days of night 

Waiting in the wilderness for signs of life

The devil's got his sights set on my peace of mind

And I don't know when he'll go

Forty days of tears

Wandering through the wilderness for forty years

I wonder if I'll see my shadow twice this year

As I wait for morning's light

Interlude

Oh oh oh oh

Bridge

Forty days in this December

Forty tears have come and gone

From Forty broken hallelujahs 

Off the shores of Babylon

Forty graves out in the desert

Forty years to taste the loss

Then Forty thousand resurrections 

From a single broken cross

Chorus

Forty days of night 

Waiting in the wilderness for signs of life

The devil's got his sights set on my peace of mind

And I don't know when he'll go

Forty days of tears

Wandering through the wilderness for forty years

I wonder if I'll see my shadow twice this year

As I wait for morning's light

We're all waiting 

We all wait for morning's light

We're all waiting 

We all wait for mourning's light
