Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We saw birth and death
Can we be still?
What makes you kind
From where comes your sparkling mind
[Verse 2]
Was it under the earth?
Tied up in a knot
Which I forgot you were ever there
Do not be afraid, do not be afraid
[Verse 3]
What's that I see?
I think it's the wild
Puts the fear of God in me
[Verse 4]
And was ever thus
Up from the dust
Inconceivable light
[Verse 5]
What's that I see?
I think it's the wild
Puts the fear of God in me
Written by: Benjamin Lovett, Edward Dwane, Marcus Mumford, Winston Marshall
