Let the bruises billow up like a storm
Let the flood come like it has before
Let my mom cry in the office
When she has no idea what to do
Let the congregation fall on their knees
Let a word from God come like a wind through the trees
When the scaffolding falls off the building
Let me be happy and perfect and new
Open wide your mouth
Let the end of all things pour right out
Any joy that I've found is in you
Let me smile as my head hits the floor
Let mercy come like light from under the door
Let me circle the drain like an insect
As they try to keep everyone calm
Let me rise so everyone can see
Let the weight become greater than I think it can be
Let them have it all laid out for them clearly
Like some astral design on their palms
Open wide your mouth
Let the end of all things pour right out
Any joy that I've found is in you
