.
when you find a city
a city on fire
flames arising even higher
.
when you find a city
a city of stone
a crazy woman on the throne
.
rest in reverence, rest in grace
stare your fear down in the face
it cannot be moved
.
when you feel it melting
your city on fire
your city on a hill
.
when it feels like stone
in your city alone
on the beach you will
.
rest in reverence, rest in fear
with g~d’s grace inside you near
it cannot be moved
.
