WATCHMAN from ONE by Michael Hart

WATCHMAN

DAY AFTER DAY I STAND ON THE WATCHTOWER
EVERY NIGHT I STAY WATCHING AT MY POST
OH WATCHMAN TELL ME WHAT’S LEFT OF THE NIGHT-
MORNING IS COMING WILL IT BE ALRIGHT?

TODAY IT WILL BE STORMY FOR THE SKY IS RED
SAILORS GAVE WARNING ALL THE BIRDS HAVE FLED
PINK MOON FADING TO A BLACKOUT IN THE SKY
TELL ME WHO CAN READ THE SIGNS OF OUR TIMES?

I’M CALLING OUT GLORY ENTERED THE WORLD
THRU THE EYE OF SORROW BEAUTIFUL PEARL
YOU ARE THE LION WHO BROKE
MY MORNING STAR, O DAYBREAK OF GRACE

DAYS OF CONFUSION NOT MUCH RELIEF
WATCHING FOR MORE THAN A JOKER AND A THIEF
FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE; LIKE A CRY TO THE SON
IF THE WIND COMES HOWLING I’LL BE SINGIN’ HE’S THE ONE

Chorus
Bridge:
MY SOUL IS WAITING FOR YOU
‘TIL BRINK OF DAY
WHEN MORNING STARS COME SHOUTING
GRACE UPON GRACE

I READ ABOUT A PARTY WHERE THE BEST WAS SAVED FOR LAST
MUST HAVE BEEN A MIRACLE AS THEY ALL RAISED THEIR GLASS
HAPPENED ON THE THIRD DAY LIKE JONAH AND THE WHALE

WINE & THE EMPTY TOMB, CHRIST MY HOLY GRAIL

I’M CALLING OUT GLORY ENTERED THE WORLD
THRU THE EYE OF SORROW BEAUTIFUL PEARL
YOU ARE THE LION WHO BROKE MY GRAVE
MY MORNING STAR, SAVIOUR OF GRACE
