Dark to Light and Dark Again
Muscles, nerves and skin and bones
They carry us on our journey home
Day by day they sustain us
In the end they betray us
But our bodies, they never fully contain us
We rise above that matter which seeks to detain us
From the truth, from the love
From each other, from above
We’re everything all at once
We need not fear the end when it comes

Dark to light and dark again
All changing tides until it ends
Take it in, don’t close your eyes
And piece by piece shed your disguise
‘Til your spirit is what you have gained
Burning brighter than all of your pain

Silence may confine you
But it does not define who you have been
The love you have created
When memories have faded will remain

Travelin’ down this winding road
The destination is not ours to know
But it’s shaped by those who guide us
Take us in, come beside us
For no matter how much we have grown
We cannot do it all on our own
We cannot do it all on our own
We cannot do it all on our own
