[Verse 1] I saw it in the dawn On the chapel glass A silver line on the floor Like a promise that would last My hands were tired and cold My heart was full of rain Then the silence learned my name And I could breathe again [Pre-Chorus] Lift me up Call me near There is mercy in the air I can feel it here [Chorus] Upon a shining star You found me where I was Upon a shining star You filled my empty cup Upon a shining star I’m reaching with my whole heart Upon a shining star You lead me home at last (home at last) [Verse 2] There was dust on every dream There were tears I couldn’t hide But the morning kept on coming Like a song that pulled me through the night Now the old chains fall away And the dark cannot remain When Your light comes through the window Everything begins again [Pre-Chorus] Lift me up Call me near There is mercy in the air I can feel it here [Chorus] Upon a shining star You found me where I was Upon a shining star You filled my empty cup Upon a shining star I’m reaching with my whole heart Upon a shining star You lead me home at last (home at last) [Bridge] Now I sing with the saints Now I stand and testify Every broken road was holy Every tear was held in time [Chorus] Upon a shining star You found me where I was Upon a shining star You filled my empty cup Upon a shining star I’m reaching with my whole heart Upon a shining star You lead me home at last (home at last)
