• "Hosea's Wife" - Brooke Fraser
  
  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
  
  We are more than dust
  That means something
  That means something
  We are more than just
  Blood and emotions
  Inklings and notions
  Atoms on oceans

  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
