I watched queen mama carry
A castle and our king
So I thought it ordinary
To fly with just one wing

Now, you run your hand along my shoulder
And all I feel is lightness
Buoying my bones, feel myself grow

Lighter in our ways together
Lighter in our ways together
In all my days of carrying on, I never liked, light, things

I thought the more I carried
The more that life would bring
And it made my life so heavy
I couldn't give a thing
Like, love, not really

New to leaning back, and falling open
You reached right out to let me
Know that you must hold up the heavy load, with me

Carrying the world between us
Marrying the world between us
Deepening in lightness
Marrying the world between us (Lighter in our ways together)
Carrying the world between us (Lighter in our ways together)
