And the morning light was breaking
    Slowly moving across the bed
    He gets up without her waking
    To the voices in his head
    
    Through the shadows in the hallway
    To the room they painted blue
    And on the inside he is frightened
    At a loss for what to do
    
    Until he opens up his eyes
    And the angels all look down
    
    Even closer than this life
    Closer than your faith
    Closer than the things that you hold dearly
    And in vain
    Closer than this life
    Falling through again
    Giving more than anything
    That you could hope to win
    
    And he knows his life is changing
    It's never easy letting go
    For the first time you are mortal
    As the child before you grows
    And he wonders at the sight
    Of the joy that he has found
    
    Even closer than this life
    Closer than your faith
    Closer than the things that you hold dearly
    And in vain
    Closer than this life
    Falling through again
    Giving more than anything
    That you could hope to win
    
    And what would you intend to find?
    Solitude? Your peace of mind?
    Holding out for something less
    Than touching the hand of God?
    
    Even closer than this life
    Closer than this faith
    Closer than the things that you hold dearly
    And in vain
    Closer than this life
    Falling through again
    Giving more than anything
    That you could hope to win
    
    Closer than this life
    Closer finally
    Living for the only thing
    You ever made complete
    Oh, for the one thing
    That you both did perfectly
