Eternity Lyrics - When Everything Breaks Open - Matt Morris

Through the ages we have lived and died 

Kings make war and sages prophescied 

Somewhere between the first creation and tonight 

Was a million incarnations of me myself and I 

I was a savior in another life 

With a white robe flowing in the morning light 

I walked with angels in my darkest plight 

In the desert for forty days and forty nights 

I was a tyrant with an angry tongue 

Who neglected the old and enslaved the young 

It was quite when I brought the air into my lungs 

And sang the very first song every sung 

I'm carrying, the memory, of these things, inside of me 

I greet them with humility 

They're with me for eternity 

I'm telling you, with sincerity 

In what you do and what you be 

Is gona follow you, like you follow me 

And be with you for eternity 

I was a woman swollen full with child 

I was a healer, Shaman in the wild 

I was the prosecutor, I was put on trial 

I put forth the accusation, I made a denial 

I drank the blood of Jesus from a wooden cup 

I ate a bit of heaven then I spit it up 

I caught my brother lying and I called his bluff 

I led the sheep to slaughter once his time was up 

Twice I brought the masses down, to their knees 

One time with love, the next time with greed 

My childhood aspirations got the best of me 

My _______ became the worlds destiny 

I'm carrying, the memory, of these things, inside of me 

I greet them with humility 

They're with me for eternity 

I'm telling you, with sincerity 

In what you do and what you be 

Is gona follow you, like they follow me 

And be with you for eternity 

I was a man with pointer on the trigger 

I brought the temple down and rebuilt it with one finger 

I was the first singer, to lullaby the lord to sleep in the manger 

I was the stranger on the road to Damascus, 

Saying turn your eyes to God and you shall receive the answers 

Turn your eyes to God and receive the answers 

Turn your eyes to God 

I'm carrying, the memory, of these things, inside of me 

I greet them with humility 

They're with me for eternity 

I'm telling you, with sincerity 

In what you do and what you be 

Is gona follow you, like they follow me 

And be with you for eternity 

It's going to be with you for eternity
