lyrics

I want to live for the future
Built out of hard things and soldered with love.
Hope is a river that’s swollen.
They melted the ice down with fear in god and eyelashes.

Ashes to ashes
Dust on the curtains cling.
Long as my heart beats
Wring my hands and march my feet.

I want to be there
I want to see it with my own eyes

I want to live for the future
Chiseled in our hearts with all the pain that might still come.
Learning to give what’s not easy;
Blessings are shared like the naked dandelion’s seeds.

Hidden in voiceless
is all the help we need.
Long as my heart beats
I’ll follow hopelessness with dreams.
