lyrics
shame is a shadow and a blight
the devil uprooting your beautiful life
we eat with the angels who return to pick a fight
reach for the morning every night
the weight of a millstone to the mud
for the bullies of faith and simple trust
waiting on God is not like waiting for a bus
reach like the children that you love
a child who plays in the kingdom
a child who plays for the kingdom
come find your place in the kingdom
savor the fire in your blood
the pain when you cannot block it out or shut it up
looking for love is every reason, it’s enough
to reach for the morning like it’s all you want
desire your way to the kingdom
desire a place in the kingdom
don’t hide your face from the kingdom
the devil uprooting your beautiful life
we eat with the angels who return to pick a fight
reach for the morning every night
the weight of a millstone to the mud
for the bullies of faith and simple trust
waiting on God is not like waiting for a bus
reach like the children that you love
a child who plays in the kingdom
a child who plays for the kingdom
come find your place in the kingdom
savor the fire in your blood
the pain when you cannot block it out or shut it up
looking for love is every reason, it’s enough
to reach for the morning like it’s all you want
desire your way to the kingdom
desire a place in the kingdom
don’t hide your face from the kingdom

"Quite apart from that this album is extraordinary on its
own merits there are few artists willing to expose their talents to such a sparse instrumental background, and you need to listen to it and discover its beauty for yourself."

The Pivot On Which The World Turns (2022)
by Polly Paulusmasupported by 4 fans who also own “Reach For The Morning”
Came here by accident and feel like I have found a secret, made a very special friend. Making the everyday seem extraordinary, this record has blown me away. Some songs I get no further than a verse in and I'm filled with tears but with no idea why. Such a wonderful thing. Thank you for making it. X
