about

Psalm 74:16-17 Yours is the day, yours also the night;
you have established the heavenly lights and the sun.
17 You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth;
you have made summer and winter.

lyrics

She is like a blade of grass,
In an endless sea of green,
How long til the others all forget?
How long til she's blowing in the wind?
Do you see how her spirit grows faint?
Falling as a flower without root,
Do you have a home for her heart?
Will the sun rise to keep her warm?
Oh, the sun will rise to keep her warm.
Cuz the day is yours, and the night is yours,
And you've laid the boundaries of earth
Oh, the sun still shows,
And the moon still glows,
And it flickers in hope,
To light up the way in the dark
She is like a blade of grass,
The night has frozen her skin,
In the morning will you prove your love?
In waves crashing in, in waves crashing in
You're the lion gripping her in,
And the lamb taking her hand
