Sweet Ever After

Sweet Ever After - Ellie Holcomb/Bear Rinehart/NEEDTOBREATHE

Lyrics by：Bear Rinehart/Ellie Holcomb

Composed by：Bear Rinehart/Ellie Holcomb

In the spirit of David and the cracks in the walls

And the schemes that we're all running

We're exposed to the rain coming down from the clouds

And the fire that falls from heaven

But our tragedy binds what our ignorance hides

We all wind up here together

Yeah our bodies are tired and our souls they are blind

Bones broken by the weather

Got a lotta bad days still comin' our way

But a sweet ever after

Wind and waves breaking over our walls

But the ship it don't shatter

The real life lesson 'bout a life well-lived

Is you lose what don't matter

But the sun's coming up on the stairway to heaven

In the sweet ever after in the sweet ever after

Woke up terrified in the middle of the night

To a storm our whole house was shaking

Didn't know where to hide the winds howling outside

Sounded like everything was breaking

Well our tears fell like rain when the morning light came

In the wake of that disaster

Brick and stone in streets shattered glass in our feet

Homes splintered by the weather

Listen

Got a lotta bad days still comin' our way

But a sweet ever after

Wind and waves breaking over our walls

But the ship it don't shatter

The real life lesson 'bout a life well-lived

Is you lose what don't matter

But the sun's coming up on the stairway to heaven

In the sweet ever after in the sweet ever after

If we listen there's a sound

Beneath the footprints in all our towns

We're connected like waves of grain

When we break wide open we're all the same

When we break open we're all the same

Got a lotta bad days still comin' our way

But a sweet ever after

Wind and waves breaking over our walls

But the ship it don't shatter

The real life lesson 'bout a life well-lived

Is you lose what don't matter

But the sun's coming up on the stairway to heaven

In the sweet ever after in the sweet ever after

Sweet ever after in the sweet ever after
