with the rain there came your word,
and soaked into my ear.
woke me from a heavy sleep,
and spoke to me of fear
it's understood but not, no it's never understood
silence is a fire,
laughter a knife
movement carried forward,
here am i
it's understood but not, no it's never understood
i carry you,
there's no turning back, no turning back.
a flame that held up to the wind.
at best a breath,
then breathe it in, breathe it in
you give, and you take
violent moments,
you create a change
what you break apart,
you'll build again
it's understood but not, no it's never understood
i carry you,
there's no turning back, no turning back
a flame that held up to the wind
at best a breath,
then breathe it in, breath it in
like laughter
who among us here will chance the night,
and find good reason to take up life?
