Needle & Thread - Sleeping At Last

When the world welcomes us in

We’re closer to Heaven than we’ll ever know

They say this place has changed

But strip away all of the technology

And you will see

That we all are hunters

Hunting for something that will make us okay

Here we lay alone in hospital beds

Tracing life in our heads;

But all that is left

Is that this was our entrance and now it’s our exit

As we find our way home

All the blood and all the sweat

That we invested to be loved

Follows us into our end

Where we begin to understand

That we are made of love

And all the beauty stemming from it

We are made of love

And every fracture caused by the lack of it

«You were a million years of work,»

Said God and His angels, with needle and thread

They kissed your head and said

«You're a good kid and you make us proud

So just give your best and the rest will come

And we’ll see you soon.»

All the blood and all the sweat

That we invested to be loved

Follows us into our end

Where we begin to understand

That maybe Hollywood was right:

When the credits have rolled and the tears have dried

The answers that we have been dying to find

Are all pieced together and, somehow

Made perfectly mine

We are made of love

And all the beauty stemming from it

We are made of love

And every fracture caused by the lack of love
