Brooke Fraser
Hosea's Wife

I just spoke silence with the seeker next to me
She had a heart with hesitant, halting speech
That turned to mine and asked belligerently
What do I live for

I see the scars of searches everywhere I go
From hearts to wars to literature to radio
There's a question like a shame no one will show
What do I live for

We are Hosea's wife
We are squandering this life
Using people like ladders and words like knives

[Chorus]
If we've eyes to see
If we've ears to hear
To find it in our hearts and mouths the word that saves is near
Shed that shallow skin
Come and live again
Leave all you were before
To believe is to begin

There is truth in little corners of our lives
There are hints of it in songs and children's eyes
It's familiar, like an ancient lullaby
What do I live for

We are Hosea's wife
We are squandering this life
Using bodies like money and truth like lies

If we've eyes to see
If we've ears to hear
To find it in our hearts and mouths the word that saves is near
Shed that shallow skin
Come and live again
Leave all you were before
To believe is to begin

We are more than dust
That means somethin'
That means somethin'
We are more than just
Blood and emotions
Inklings and notions
Atoms on oceans

We are Hosea's wife
We are squandering this life
Using people like ladders and words like knives

If we've eyes to see
If we've ears to hear
To find it in our hearts and mouths the word that saves is near
Shed that shallow skin
Come and live again
Leave all you were before
To believe is to begin

If we've eyes to see
If we've ears to hear
To find it in our hearts and mouths the word that saves is near
Shed that shallow skin
Come and live again
Leave all you were before
To believe is to begin...

To believe is to begin
(Leave all you were before)
To believe is to begin, do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do
(Leave all you were before)
To believe is to begin





Mirror lyrics:




To believe is to begin
(Leave all you were before)
To believe is to begin, do-do-do-do do-do-do-do-do
(Leave all you were before)
To believe is to begin

To believe is to begin...
Leave all you were before
Come and live again
Shed that shallow skin
To find it in our hearts and mouths the word that saves is near
If we've ears to hear
If we've eyes to see

To believe is to begin
Leave all you were before
Come and live again
Shed that shallow skin
To find it in our hearts and mouths the word that saves is near
If we've ears to hear
If we've eyes to see

Using people like ladders and words like knives
We are squandering this life
We are Hosea's wife

Atoms on oceans
Inklings and notions
Blood and emotions
We are more than just
That means somethin'
That means somethin'
We are more than dust

To believe is to begin
Leave all you were before
Come and live again
Shed that shallow skin
To find it in our hearts and mouths the word that saves is near
If we've ears to hear
If we've eyes to see

Using bodies like money and truth like lies
We are squandering this life
We are Hosea's wife

What do I live for
It's familiar, like an ancient lullaby
There are hints of it in songs and children's eyes
There is truth in little corners of our lives

To believe is to begin
Leave all you were before
Come and live again
Shed that shallow skin
To find it in our hearts and mouths the word that saves is near
If we've ears to hear
If we've eyes to see
[Chorus]

Using people like ladders and words like knives
We are squandering this life
We are Hosea's wife

There's a question like a shame no one will show
From hearts to wars to literature to radio
I see the scars of searches everywhere I go

What do I live for
That turned to mine and asked belligerently
She had a heart with hesitant, halting speech
I just spoke silence with the seeker next to me
