Ten Thousand

John Mark McMillan

[Verse 1]
Ten thousand glimmering like coals in our chest
Ball bearings drawn to the magnetic breath
Of ten thousand weeping with wings on their tears
Amidst ten thousand voices for ten thousand years

[Verse 2]
For ten thousand graves yawning, unlocked and unlatched
Now ten thousand holes with rocks on their backs
Ten thousand tombs gaping wide singing the praises
Of ten thousand bodies unlaced and unlaid

[Pre-Chorus]
As the ten thousand highways unfold their doors
For the ten thousand standing on Nineveh's shores
Where the blood of a husband silences wars
For the girl who rises to meet him

[Chorus]
And she sings
"World, I've overcome you
World, I've overcome you
World, I've overcome by my song and the blood of a Son"

[Verse 3]
Ten thousand rivers run red like my veins
Where the bones of men hum like a rattling cage
For sinew to cling to, for wind to remain
In ten thousand lungs for ten thousand days

Breathing like a choir of holes in the ground
Where the cynical have lain, where the cynical go down
Save the gravity of time lets go of her drowned
Like ten thousand sparrows unlocked and unwound

[Pre-Chorus]
As the ten thousand highways unfold their doors
For the ten thousand standing on Nineveh's shores
Where the blood of a husband silences wars
For the girl who rises to meet him

[Chorus]
And she sings
"World, I've overcome you
World, I've overcome you
World, I've overcome by my song and the blood of a Son"

She sings
"World, I've overcome you
World, I've overcome you
World, I've overcome by my song and the blood of a Son"
