I can't keep up with these heavy hands
I've been covering all the light
Covering all the light coming from my window
And I need the light shining so hard
It raises us up
I make sure before I fall asleep to think about all the things
That make me feel good, and what makes me feel right
Like a melody sung by an old man
That has seen a thing or two
And it keeps me wondering what is it I am not to do
[Chorus]
What saves you might save my soul
That doesn't matter now find my list
Don't sum me up and swallow me whole
To soon spit me right out of your breath
I don't mind if I have to wait around in the emptiness of this world
A world suffering in hunger
And it's where I have been searching for a goal
And I felt God in anything
And I dreamt that we are one
Things seem so unreal but I have been here all along
What saves you might not save my soul
That doesn't matter now find my list
Don't sum me up and swallow me whole
To soon spit me right out of your breath
My mother knows loving my mother knows pain
There are reasons without reasons for her loss
Many of us have been living so afraid
To surrender right in front of everyone
I know what you're thinking
And the thinking keeps you breathing
Or is the heart that knows best in the end?
There's always a beginning if you are ready to believe in
Or are you waiting for yourself to meet you in a dream?
