we've pushed the gates of time a little tighter than they were
we've built our marble houses up on mountains made of words
as snow begins to melt, expose the fire of our tongues
there's nothing left to ruin, sow your silence back to Love
no not the kind that's fleeting, adding wrinkles to your skin
but One much lesser heavy than this cage of bone we're in

I've always found my person whole in everything you do
the way you carry others s'though they are a part of you
Distractions have no place around the eyes with which you see
as hard as they may try they'll never practice what you preach
So sing to me forever, all the holy in your heart
I'll hear you in tomorrow's song, "we'll never be apart"

I've written you so many letters
"Goodnight" before bed, yellow sun
The first of the seven I cradled
my very first beautiful one  
you helped me to walk when I couldn't
I borrowed your strength when we left
we crossed every ocean together
so let me return every breath
Remember my arms when you're tired
they'll hold you up high when I'm gone
believe me when I say I love you
remember our favourite song

I've stared into the sun so many times I should be blind
but every single day I see I reckon with the time
I find the birds in hiding and I catch the birds in flight
they're everything we try to be, they settle for "alright"
how easily we sway because our human's flesh and bone
it leads us to believe we have been made to be alone  
tucks everything we feel into a the box that disappears
considers not the Spirit, faithful always through the years
let everywhere I need to be forgive where I will go
and leave behind the people I will never really know
