Single Shining Moment

from Heavy Hearts by James Benton

/

lyrics

These wretched hearts of Babylon
are slippin' through the wings of one
who's wisdom has not blown upon this peace
Can your little wisdom steal the peace?

I've sat here waiting all these years
for that that was never ever clear
like a tic on a limb waiting for its moment
waiting for the blood of a single shining moment.

We've lifted up beyond the faces
the feted roots and empty spaces
revealing what this silence slips to one
revealing what the silence has begun.

These tender hearts that beat upon
these red hot roads of Babylon
are now broken open bare and blazing free
broken bare and blazing by the sea.
