Martyr's Song

(album: Better Questions - 2007)

I've been waiting to dance with you
In fields full of colors you've never seen
And I've been waiting to show you beauty
You'd never dreamed that's always been in you

I've been waiting to see you tremble as you're embraced
By a world saturated with my love
I've been waiting for the day when at last I get to say
My child you are finally home

Sing, O son of Zion
Shout, O child of mine
Rejoice with all your heart and soul and mind
For you are finally home

I've been waiting to watch you realize
What all your longing was for
And I've been waiting to show you the thread of grace
That ran through all your pain

And I've been waiting to let you drink the water of which
Your greatest joy on earth was just a taste
I've been waiting for the day when at last I get to say
My child you are finally home

Sing, O son of Zion
Shout, O child of mine
Rejoice with all your heart and soul and mind

Sing, O daughter of Zion
Cry out, O child of mine
And dance with all the strength that you can find
For you are finally home

Every tear you cried dried in the palm of my hand
Every lonely hour was by my side
Every loved one lost, every river crossed
Every moment, every hour was pointing to this day
I've been longing for this day

And I've been waiting to dance with you
In fields full of colors you've never seen
And I've been waiting to show you beauty
You'd never dreamed that's always been in you

And I've been waiting to see you tremble as you're embraced
By a world saturated with my love
I've been waiting for the day when at last I get to say
My child, you are finally home

Sing, O son of Zion
Shout, O child of mine
Rejoice with all your heart and soul and mind

And sing, O daughter of Zion
Cry out, O child of mine
And dance with all the strength that you can find
For you are finally home

Sing, O son of Zion
Shout, O child of mine
Rejoice with all your heart and soul

And sing, O daughter of Zion
Cry out, O child of mine
Dance with all the strength that you can find
For you are finally home

You're finally home, you are my child
And you're finally home
