Alive for but a moment,
my feet sinking in the sand,
standing to deliver
this message to Heaven:
I'm waiting for a reason to fall.

In love and alive,
my feet sinking in the sand,
raising my voice to the sky
and making this demand of heaven:
send me a reason to fall.

Flat on my face,
no escape,
no place left to look
but inside the heart still beats
so I must be alive.

Alive and in love with dying,
my knees sunk into the sand,
I'm kneeling to ask
this boon of Heaven:
give me a reason to fall.

Flat on my face,
no escape,
no place left to look
but inside the hear still beats
so I must still be alive.

Dying and in life with love,
my hips deep in the sand
and silence has fall
upon my lips, to Heaven;
no reason left to fall.
