Blink - Adam Watts

I am here

You are too

Who am I

To try and change you

Looking to the left

And to the right for safety

Looking everywhere

But the Lord lately

Strip off the cover, untie the knot

It hurts to care, hurts worse to not

It’s the edge of a cliff we’re living on

So drink it in…

before you blink and it’s gone

A salt dry tear

Cry you, cry me

An ocean deep fear

A sky high need

Blanket over cold

Air to the suffocating

Water to the ones

Who stand and cry out thirsty

Strip off the cover, untie the knot

It hurts to care, hurts worse to not

It’s the edge of a cliff we’re living on

So drink it in…

before you blink and it’s gone

It’s a joke… it’s a crime

to pretend we’re not alive

it’s the hope… that we’re right

and the truth is under light

it’s the air we breathe

it’s the air we breathe

Strip off the cover, untie the knot

It hurts to care, hurts worse to not

It’s the edge of a cliff we’re living on

So drink it in…

before you blink and it’s gone
