Given the Need to Rest

Now that all the day has gone
Now that all the songs are numb
And city lights await the dawn

Now that all the trains have stopped
Now that all the bombs have dropped
We turn city lights until dawn

And you will call me blessed
Given the need to rest
And then I'll hang my head
Somewhere between Jesus and fairy tales' rest

Now that all the day is gone
Now that all the cries are numb
And we in life's plays 'til dawn

Now that all the planes are down
I've been hiding, now I'm found
And silent streets await the snow

And you will call me blessed
Given the need to rest
And then I'll hang my head
Somewhere between Jesus and fairy tales' rest
