Strum
D-DU-UDU
 If you listen just right,  you can almost hear it
 The symphony of secrecy,  life, and fear
 (the search for love, but finding fear)
Like  a moth to the flame we become helpless
 To the beautiful  ghost
 That true  love sheds.
 We all are running our  very own  races,
 Set out upon the most  dangerous of places.
 Are through  it all,
 We are left with a void  in our chests,
 We're aching to fill
 The doves  come to gather  our every  need,
 They lift  them up to Heaven
Through  the mouths from which we speak.
God will  you help us understand  the meaning of it all?
 Will you send your  angels down to us at our every  call?
 Sometimes it seems the world  is passing us
Faster  than my eyes can  adjust.
 I can't decide if  I'm  living or I'm dying,
 So I test  your love and I test your love,
 I test  your love.
 The doves  come to gather  our every  need,
 They lift  them up to Heaven
Through  us now....
 The doves  come to gather  our every  need,
 They lift  them up to Heaven
Through  the mouths from which we speak.
Like  a moth to the flame we become helpless
 To the beautiful  ghost
 That true  love sheds.
