My Coffin - Jon Foreman

Dear blue sky

Are you afraid to die

Do you fear you’ll never see the morning?

And the twilight comes

And you lose your sun

Does it come to you without a warning?

When the brain waves stop

How will I know?

When the carbon bonds that hold me

Start to go

Is there someone buried

Beneath this skin?

Is he free when I am lost

In my coffin

Dear moonlight

When you shine at night

Do you fear you’ll use up your resources?

With the sun as king

Do you feel third string

When the higher powers run their courses?

When the rain falls down

What brings it back?

Opens the resurrected cloud

From white to black

It’s a second birth

For dying skin

In my coffin

In my coffin

Hey, resurrection

Hey, hey, resurrection

Hey

Resurrection comes

But death comes first

All of our entitlements and rights drive the hearse

Through maker’s death

Death is unmade

And when I lose myself I’m safe

In my coffin

Me and my coffin
