Breaks your knees and leaves you so   The sun can burn you up and wear you out   It's an angry summer      There's no room to smile   When the face you make just before you cry   Looks so young like a child      The sun will set on this my dear   Your labors aren't in vain   You're blistered and you're burned from it   Your wounds are gonna heal      Life on earth will end for all conceived   And prove to be only a breath,   A mist, a womb for what's to come   How soon forever arrives      The sun will set on this my dear   Your labors aren't in vain   You're blistered and you're burned from it   Your wounds are gonna heal      Steadfast my love   The end is near   Just keep your eyes ahead   Grab hold of me   I'll help you there   You're never on your own   You're never all alone      Life on earth will end for all conceived   And prove to be only a breath,   A mist, a womb for what's to come   How soon forever arrives      Breaks your knees and leaves you so   The sun can burn you up and wear you out   It's an angry summer      Don't look at the past again   The first and last has made everything new   And you are too   So lift your head   And let your story be told   Life on earth will end for all conceived   And prove to be only a breath,   A mist, a womb for what's to come   How soon forever arrives      The sun will set on this my dear   Your labors aren't in vain   You're blistered and you're burned from it   Your wounds are gonna heal (forever arrives)      The sun will set on this my dear   Your labors aren't in vain      Life on earth will end for all conceived   And prove to be only a breath,   A mist, a womb for what's to come   How soon forever arrives
