lyrics

One thousand pieces lined up in a row, graciously stepping aside as she goes.
They sent home the army and brought a choir in to sing her to glory.
And they tread softly while you’re unaware that angels gather there -
they’re hedging the yard.
You’ve never heard of a story like this,
where everything stops at the sight of her stillness.
You breathe in the moment and choke on the curse.
And they whisper softly while you’re unaware that angels gather there -
they watch o’er you now.
300 million wake up from a dream!
The red waters part as you walk through the sea
with the law on your shoulders; a hope you weigh over and over and over.
And you tread softly while you’re unaware that angels gather there -
yes, they hold back the tide.
Open Jordan! Find your feet at the shore, sit and weep a while more,
sing the glory once more.
Help her, she’s falling on two tender knees. Kneel there beside her and wallow in mire
for a while ‘til she knows that some things never will go.
And you speak softly while you’re fully aware that angels gather there.
Yes you speak softly while you’re fully aware that angels gather there.
We know that angels gather there…
