The first of two singles about unmitigated hope and belief in the goodness of life, interconnectedness, and our place on this Earth.

lyrics

All I have to give to you
are all the things I cannot do
the wind that blows around the truth
the whisper of the living proof
that you are sure to make a home
that you are never on your own
no more tears, no more fears, no more crying out
this is real, this is here, this is us right now

I know we had our darker days
that’s no reason not to be amazed
at this crazy world we’re living in
at the light that plays across our skin

Don’t get me wrong, there’s reason to despair
but losing hope won’t get us anywhere
just hold on fast to what you know is true
to all the love this life still holds for you

No matter if the skies may fall
no matter if the shadows call
no matter if they build that wall
in time it too will surely fall
for we are made of sacred land
the soil built into these hands
will undo, all the pain and the burdens that follow you
listen now, to the sound of the coming day
