[03:43.70]Brooke Frase-Hosea’s Wife
[03:43.10][00:00.87]
[00:01.22]I just spoke silence with the seeker next to me
[00:06.15]She had a heart with hesitant, halting speech
[00:12.12]That turned to mine and asked belligerently:
[00:16.71]"What do I live for?"
[04:02.81][00:21.08]
[00:23.04]I see the scars of searches everywhere I go
[00:27.70]From hearts to wars to literature to radio
[00:33.78]There's a question like shame no one will show:
[00:39.19]"What do I live for?"
[00:42.43]
[00:45.12][02:40.82]We are Hosea's wife
[02:43.91][00:47.74]We are squandering this life
[02:46.68][00:50.71]Using people like ladders
[02:48.52][00:52.95]and words like knives
[02:50.83][00:55.11]
[03:16.21][02:54.30][01:50.63][00:55.40]If we've eyes to see
[03:18.36][02:56.42][01:52.81][00:57.80]If we've ears to hear
[03:21.11][02:59.07][01:55.81][01:00.71]To find it in our hearts and mouths,
[03:23.98][03:01.94][01:58.69][01:03.68]the word that saves is near
[03:26.92][03:05.15][02:01.59][01:06.46]Shed that shallows skin
[03:29.23][03:07.78][02:03.93][01:08.62]Come and live again
[03:31.82][03:10.14][02:06.84][01:11.64]Leave all you were
[03:34.51][03:13.12][02:09.27][01:14.34][03:39.57]To believe is to begin
[03:38.38][03:15.42][01:16.91]
[01:18.43]There's truth in little corners of our lives
[01:22.99]There are hints of it in songs and childrens eyes
[01:29.01]It's familiar, like an ancient lullaby
[01:34.87]What do i live for?
[01:38.24]
[01:40.12]We are Hosea's wife
[01:42.83]We are squandering this life
[01:45.55]Using bodies like money and truth like lives
[02:13.30][01:50.00]
[02:13.99]We are more than dust
[02:18.08]That means something
[02:24.55]We are more than blood and emotions,
[02:29.27]inklings and notions, atoms on oceans
[02:38.23]
