Dry Bones - Mr. Heath

Through the eyes of men it seems There's so much we have lost As we look down the road where All the prodigals have walked One by one the enemy has whispered lies And led them off as slaves But we know that you are God, yours is the victory We know there is more to come That we may not yet see So with the faith you've given us We'll step into the valley unafraid, yeah As we call out to dry bones come alive, come alive We call out to dead hearts come alive, come alive Up out of the ashes let us see an army rise We call out to dry bones, come alive God of endless mercy, God of unrelenting love Rescue every daughter bring us back the wayward son And by your spirit breathe upon them Show the world that you alone can save You alone can save As we call out to dry bones come alive, come alive We call out to dead hearts come alive, come alive Up out of the ashes let us see an army rise We call out to dry bones come alive So breathe, oh breath of God Now breathe, oh breath of God Breathe, oh breath of God now breathe Breathe, oh breath of God Now breathe, oh breath of God Breathe, oh breath of God, now breathe As we call out to dry bones come alive, come alive We call out to dead hearts come alive, come alive Up out of the ashes let us see an army rise We call out to dry bones, come alive We call out to dry bones, come alive Oh come alive

Everybody's living in the brave new earth Prisoners of the small worlds that orbit in our skulls Native sons of a no-man's land Friends and lovers in the cold, cold ground Every now and then I seem to dream these dreams Where the mute ones speak and the deaf ones sing Touching that miraculous circumstance Where the blind ones see and the dry bones dance Everyone surrenders to the brave new scarecrows And waits for them to hand us cigarettes and blindfolds All lined up for the firing squad Paper fills the cracks of the Wailing Wall Every now and then I seem to dream these dreams Where the dead ones live and the hurt ones heal Touching that miraculous circumstance Where the blind ones see and the dry bones dance And I'm gone, gone, gone Carried away by the midnight wind And I long, long, long For a world without end The kind of thing that I've never seen But in my dreams Spend your life and live to tell Tarnished coins in the wishing well Every now and then I seem to dream those dreams Where the orphans suckle and the slaves go free Touching that miraculous circumstance Where the blind ones see and the dry bones dance
