Sunia Gibbs - The World is Weeping

from Songs from the Parish Collective by Sunia Gibbs and Tom Wuest

/

lyrics

VERSE 1
The world is weeping
Willows sweeping
Bending, shaking
All is breaking

VERSE 2
The world is weary
Lifetimes bearing
Every breath, every death
All are suffering

CHORUS 1
Every surface shattering
Revealing depths or shallows
Forced to face our shadow
We’re wondering what happens now

VERSE 3
The world is wailing
Voices lifting, shifting
Borders, boundaries
All is changing

CHORUS 2
Every surface shattering
The lies we bought the ones we’ve sold
Forced to face our own shadow
We’re wondering what matters now
