What  we put before
 The love  and the rain
 and the wide  open  plain
 What we choose to take
 What will remain
 on the wide open plain
 From the skies on high
 Nothing has changed
 stars appearing out again
 In a wave of wind
 Flood of rain
 We are washed grain by grain
You  will not hide inside the shadows
When  the day begins again
You  won't be watching from you windows
 in the wide  open plain
 Oh they come to me
 One by one
 in the little time remains
 I felt the sting of
 deeds I'd done
 by which i'd hoped to gain
 The melody of
 the songs unsung are
 drawn out slow with pain
 and swelled beyond
 horizon lines
 on the wide open plain
 you will not see me up and running
 for there are no heights to gain
 and we will surely see it coming
 in the wide open plain
 we stand once more on
 the golden shores
 a still and stony train
 The sea of glass
 the sea that roars
 where all their spoils are drained
 We'll now and ever
 deeply lie
 anchoring our chains
 and divide us endless
 depthless from
 the wide open plain
 I wake up trembling in the morning
 to a cold and soundless rain
 i know beneath these streets aborning
 is a wide open plain

and divide us endless
depthless from

I wake up trembling in the morning
to a cold and soundless rain
i know beneath these streets aborning
is a wide open plain
