I heard you crying in my dreams…
So lets go and buy lots and lots of shiny stuff so we don’t have to figure out what’s wrong…

I heard you crying in my dreams…
So lets fill our seconds with screens and screens so we never feel what’s underneath…

I heard you crying in my dreams…
So lets sit in cafes and spend money we don’t have eating and drinking and being awesome so we don’t hear ourselves cracking…

I heard you crying in my dreams…
So lets get wasted on every distraction so we never…
…um, what was it?

I heard you crying in my dreams…
So lets smile and pretend so we…
…don’t… you know… something…

I heard you crying in my dreams…
So lets buy and sell and eat and run so we…
…Never
…Just
…Stop.
.
I heard you crying in my dreams.

I heard you crying in my dreams…
It was a window from The Spirit into yours

I heard you crying in my dreams…
And I could not come and save you

I heard you crying in my dreams…
And eventually
You
did
Stop. …
…the running… the rustle… the numbing… the hustle…

And the Spirit came and held you
In the brokenness of night
And you
Came
Home
