From The Depths (Mima'amakim)

From the depths I called out to you
Come to me
Upon your return, the light will return to my eyes
I'm not finished, I'm not leaving the touch of your hands
May it come and light up to the sound of your laughter

From the depths I called out to you
Come to me
Against the moon that lights your way back to me
They spread out and melted against the touch of your hands

In your ears I whisper, and ask
Who's that calling out to you tonight? Listen up
Who sings out loud to you, to your window?
Who gave his soul so you'd be happy?
Who will give a hand and build your home?

Who will give his life, and put it beneath yours?
Who will live as dust beneath your feet?
Who will love you more than all other loves?
Who will save you from every living spirit?

From the depths...
From the depths I called out to you
Come to you
Against the moon that lights your way back to me
They spread out and melted against the touch of your hand
In your ears I whisper, and ask
