[Intro] [Verse 1] Well the moon Was hangin’ sideways Like a coin About to fall, And the wind Was whistlin’ secrets Through the cracks In every wall We woke up Wearing yesterday But we swore We’d find the dawn With hearts so full They rattled Like a preacher’s Ancient song [Solo] [Verse 2] There’s a beggar Near the churchhouse Singing ballads To the breeze And the judge Just closed his curtains Saying “Justice ain’t for free” But we danced Through the disasters With our backs Against the sky Yelling hope so loud The thunder Paused to listen As it cried [Chorus] Oh we shine Yeah we shimmer Like a truth Nobody tells Tossin’ love Like pennies Into dry and Rusted wells Every step’s A sermon Every breath A rebel’s hymn Singing holy Nonsense While the daylight’s Wearing thin [Verse 3] Now the clocks Are all just circles And the maps Have lost their names But we bless Each twist and detour Like a monk In holy chains With joy so wild It’s reckless And a grace Too big to tame We’ll scrawl our names On broken doors And call it Our domain [Chorus] Oh we shine Yeah we shimmer Like a truth We couldn’t sell Tossin’ love Like pennies Into dry and Rusted wells Every step’s A sermon Every breath A rebel’s hymn Singing holy Nonsense While the daylight’s Wearing thin [Bridge] The sky turned green On Sunday The preacher Went back to bed The choir Sang to shadows And the moon Turned cherry red A jukebox played Redemption Songs In a bar That don’t exist And I wrote down Every second Just to see What I had missed. [Outro] Oh we shine Yeah we shimmer With a truth We’ve yet to try I feel our love Is waiting But the storms Still crowd the sky I don’t need Another sermon I don’t need A rebel’s hymn Singing holy Nonsense I need to Say this once again [Coda - A Cappella] We don’t need Another sermon We don’t need A rebel’s hymn Singing holy Nonsense We need the dawn To break again
