It's an immovable thing
                               Fm           
Just like the visions in your bed
                           Eb      Db
Or when they're streaming in your head

If you're leading my hand
The world is so broken

I'm tripping my steps

I'm slipping and I know why

I never thought that I'd be here
            Ab            Db                  
A blinding call to prayer has touched my feet

Like the call of the prophets
