[Verse 1] Matchmakers sweep the floor Fresh sheets on the bed They say "A new year A new door" White cloth Hope in red Candles shaking just a little But they still burn bright Tiny house Big faith Spilling into night [Chorus] New Year wedding You are here In our laughing In our tears From this moment Through the years God of mercy God who hears New Year wedding Let it be Love that walks through history Hold this family Hold this vow Be our future in the now [Verse 2] Far away Broken glass Ashes in the sky So many names So many frames Fading from our eyes Journal pages turning But some stories stay untold Still You see Still You count Every scattered soul [Chorus] [Bridge] You are there in the joy You are there in the pain In a ring In a ruin In the loss In the gain From Hiroshima’s sorrow To this small Sacred room You can plant a tomorrow Where the dead things bloom [crescendo] So we sing "Make us honest" When the headlines choose a side Teach our hearts to carry Every brother’s cry [Chorus]
