Brooke Fraser - Hosea's Wife lyrics
[Brooke Fraser - Hosea's Wife lyrics]
I just spoke silence with the
Seeker next to me
She had a heart with hesitant, halting speech
That turned to mine and asked belligerently:
"What do I live for?"
I see the stars of searches everywhere I go
From hearts to wars to literature to radio
There's a question like a shame no one
Will show: "What do I live for?"
We are Hosea's wife
We are squandering this life
Using people like ladders and
Words like knives
If we've eyes to see if we've ears to hear
To find it in our hearts and mouths
The word that saves is near
Shed that shallow skin come and live again
Leave all you were before
To believe is to begin
There is truth in little corners of our lives
There are hints of it in
Songs and children's eyes
It's familiar, like an ancient lullaby
What do I live for? We are Hosea's wife
We are squandering this life
Using bodies like money and truth like lies
If we've eyes to see if we've ears to hear
To find it in our hearts and mouths
The word that saves is near
Shed that shallow skin come and live again
Leave all you were before
To believe is to begin
We are more than dust that means something
That means something
We are more than just blood and emotions
Inklings and notions, atoms on oceans
We are Hosea's wife
We are squandering this life
Using people like ladders and
Words like knives if we've eyes to see
If we've ears to hear
To find it in our hearts and mouths
The word that saves is near
Shed that shallow skin come and live again
Leave all you were before
To believe is to begin if we've eyes to see
If we've ears to hear
To find it in our hearts and mouths
The word that saves is near
Shed that shallow skin come and live again
Leave all you were before
To believe is to begin
To believe is to begin
To believe is to begin
To believe is to begin
Seeker next to me
She had a heart with hesitant, halting speech
That turned to mine and asked belligerently:
"What do I live for?"
I see the stars of searches everywhere I go
From hearts to wars to literature to radio
There's a question like a shame no one
Will show: "What do I live for?"
We are Hosea's wife
We are squandering this life
Using people like ladders and
Words like knives
If we've eyes to see if we've ears to hear
To find it in our hearts and mouths
The word that saves is near
Shed that shallow skin come and live again
Leave all you were before
To believe is to begin
There is truth in little corners of our lives
There are hints of it in
Songs and children's eyes
It's familiar, like an ancient lullaby
What do I live for? We are Hosea's wife

To believe is to begin if we've eyes to see
If we've ears to hear
To find it in our hearts and mouths
The word that saves is near
Shed that shallow skin come and live again
Leave all you were before
To believe is to begin
To believe is to begin
To believe is to begin
To believe is to begin
