How did we get here and what does it mean?
Who  said it must be and when can we dream?
The  world outside is cold and bright, but when you take a breath
You'll inhale the sunlight and exhale the rest

We give up ourselves until love leaves a bruise
Invest  in some chainmail to withstand abuse
But  what if love is more than just the sum of what it cost?
You yearn for the part of yourself you thought you'd lost

We're  older than we used to be
And closer to the ground beneath
Maybe we've got all the time to grow
Maybe we've got all the time‚ and maybe we just don't know

In  spite of our failures‚ the lines twist and curve
To regrow the branches the night has disturbed
When we wake‚ we'll take the shape of something free and bold
And rest in the shade where the new greets the old
