Surprise Lyrics - Good Monsters - Jars Of Clay

Shoot a dream in your arm 

And sleep away 

It's not the stuff that kills you 

That keeps your life at bay 

Every crash pulls you in reach 

Of a watershed of signal flares 

That cover your beach 

These are just placebos 

To make us feel all right 

Illusions in our pockets 

Make our feathers float us high 

For a second I thought I saw 

Your eyelids rise 

A moment something restless 

Caught you by surprise 

Surprise, surprise 

We are so beautiful 

When we sleep 

Hearts of gold and eyes 

So deep, deep, deep 

But love won't cure the chaos 

And hope won't hide the loss 

And peace is not the heroine 

That shouts above the cause 

And love is wild for reasons 

And hope though short in sight 

Might be the only thing 

That wakes you by surprise 

Surprise, surprise 

And dream, little ones 

See the world just begun 

And love is wild for reasons 

And hope though short in sight 

Might be the only thing 

That wakes you by surprise 

For a moment I thought I saw 

Your eyelids rise 

Surprise, surprise
