Daniel Amos - Stones Of Venice Lyrics

Breathe it in
See the lines so straight
Contrast
Disorder and misery
Do you get a thrill?
We can change the world
Set the craftsmen free
In God's own country

Stones of Venice in a line
Far as the naked eye can see
Stones of Venice on the incline
Perfect holy symmetry

You...you...you...you
Padre, Father
Lay your spirit on me

Let them breathe it in
Form stone and clay
Contrast
Chaos and anarchy
He has ripped the veil
Will retain the time/will we take the time?
We are breaking through
The Philistine line

Stones of Venice in a row
Bridges to eternity
Stones of Venice through the snow
Walkways for humanity

Speak to me
Walls of Peru
What was in your builder's heart?
A razor blade
Cannot pass through you
Dividing God and art

Landscape
Continuing flow
Contrast
With shapes and fragments
Really do believe
What our heart receives
Will set the captive free
Like God's own country

Breathe it in
