Jars Of Clay lyrics - Surprise

album: Good Monsters (2006)
genre: 

Shoot a dream in your arm and sleep away 
It's not the stuff that kills you, that keeps your life at bay 
Every crash pulls you in reach 
Of a watershed of signal flares that cover your beach 

These are just placebos to make us feel all right 
Illusions in our pockets make our feather float us high 
For a second I thought I saw you eyelids rise 
A moment, something restless caught you by surprise, 
Surprise, surprise 

We are so beautiful when we sleep 
Hearts of gold and eyes so deep, deep, deep 
But love won't cure the chaos 
And hope won't hide the loss 
And peace is not the heroine that shouts above the cause 
And love is wild for reasons 
And hope though short in sight 
Might be the only thing that wakes you by surprise 
Surprise, surprise 

Dream little one 
See the world just begun 

Love is wild for reasons 
And hope feels short in sight 
Might be the only thing that wakes you by surprise 
For a moment I thought I saw your eyelids rise 

Surprise, surprise, surprise…
