From the Book of Job
When Morning Stars Sang
♪ Synced lyrics coming soon
Verse 1
The sky was empty, no sound, no spark
Before the light tore into the dark
Oceans were waiting, the air held its breath
Then a voice like thunder spoke life into death
Pre-Chorus
Who pulls the tide back? Who tells the trees?
Who draws the map where the stars used to be?
Chorus
Where were you when I laid the earth’s frame?
When the morning stars sang, but you never came?
Who stretched the line? Who measured the deep?
Who set the waves where your footsteps won’t reach?
Verse 2
Mountains don’t answer, the silence is loud
The echoes are speaking, but you’re not around
The weight of the heavens, the dust and the sea
All of it moves, but it’s nothing to Me
Pre-Chorus
Who bends the branches? Who steals the sun?
Who lifts the veil when the story is done?
Chorus
Where were you when I laid the earth’s frame?
When the morning stars sang, but you never came?
Who stretched the line? Who measured the deep?
Who set the waves where your footsteps won’t reach?
Bridge
Oh, the weight of it all, the silence between
Oh, the hands in the dark, unseen machinery
The world keeps turning, the world keeps turning
But no one’s really free
Chorus
Where were you when I laid the earth’s frame?
When the morning stars sang, but you never came?
Who stretched the line? Who measured the deep?
Who set the waves where your footsteps won’t reach?
Outro
Still the stars sing, still the waves bow
Still My voice calls, even now...
