Heaven's True Face

{fingerpicked acoustic

guitar}

{gentle cello swell} Will I still know the shape of your hand?

Will you remember the way that we planned?

Or does the self just dissolve in the deep

Like a quiet promise we no longer keep?

{close-mic'd acoustic guitar} Do we fade into a golden light?

Losing the edges of our day and night?

{subtle pedal steel

volume swells} Tell me,

do we keep our names?

Or do we leave behind our earthly games?

Will your laughter sound the same

When we are finally free of all this pain?

(will we know?)

{rich vocal harmony enters} I want to find you with your stubborn

grace

The familiar lines written on your face

Not some perfect, unblemished design

But the beautiful flaws

that made you mine

{brushed snare drums enter gently} Tell me,

do we keep our names?

Or do we leave behind our earthly games?

Will your laughter sound the same

When we are finally free of all this pain?

(will we

know?) {full dynamic band swell}

If the soul is a river that flows to the sea Does

it remember when it was a creek?

(remember me)

Does it remember the stones and the trees?

{solitary electric guitar arpeggio} {expressive warm electric guitar solo with slide} {building

drum intensity} Tell me,

do we keep our names?

Or do we leave behind our earthly games?

Will your laughter sound the same

When we are finally free of all this pain?

(tell me now)

{choir and lead vocal ascending} I hope you keep your quiet spark

I hope we know each other in the dark

(in the dark)

{instruments slowly fade

to a single acoustic guitar}
