I can't keep up with these heavy hands
That been covering all of the light
Covering all of the light coming from my window
And I need the light to shine
So I may rise with the sun
I make sure before I fall asleep to think about all the things
That make me feel good, and what makes me feel right
Like a melody sung by an old man
That has seen a thing or two
And it keeps me wondering what it is that I am ought to do

[Chorus]
What saves you might not save my soul
But that doesn't mean I will not find my rest
Don't sum me up and swallow me whole
Too soon to spit me right out of your breath

I don't mind if I have to wait around in the emptiness of this world
A world suffering in hunger
And it's where I have been searching for gold
I felt God in everything
And I dreamt we were all one
Things seem so unreal but I have been here all along

[Chorus]
What saves you might not save my soul
But that doesn't mean I will not find my rest
Don't sum me up and swallow me whole
Too soon to spit me right out of your breath
My mother knows love and my mother knows pain
There are reasons without reasons for her loss
Maybe all of us have been living so afraid
To surrender right in front of everyone
I know what you're thinking
If the thinking keeps you breathing
Or is it in the heart that knows best in the end
There's always a beginning if you're ready to believe in
We are waiting for ourselves
To meet inside our dreams
Meet inside our dreams
