Closer

And the morning light was breaking
 Slowly movin' across the bed
 He gets up without her wakin'
 To the voices in his head
 Through the shadows in the hallway
 To the room they painted blue
 And on the inside he is frightened
 At a loss for what to do
 Until he opens up his eyes
 
 And the angels all look down
 Even closer than this life
 Closer than your faith
 Closer than the things that you hold dearly
 And in vain
 Closer than this life
 Falling through again
 Giving more than anything
 That you could hope to win
 And he knows his life is changing
 It's never easy letting go
 For the first time you are mortal
 As the child before you grows
 And he wonders at the sight
 Of the joy that they have found
 Even closer than this life
 Closer than your faith
 Closer than the things that you hold dearly
 And in vain
 Closer than this life
 Falling through again
 Giving more than anything
 That you could hope to win
 And what would you intend to find?
 Solitude? Your peace of mind?
 Holding out for something less
 Than touching the hand of God?
 ♪
 Even closer than this life
 Closer than this faith
 Closer than the things that you hold dearly
 And in vain
 Closer than this life
 Falling through again
 Giving more than anything
 That you could hope to win
 Closer than this life
 Closer finally
 Living for the only thing
 You ever made complete
 Oh, for the one thing
 That you both did perfectly
