lyrics

Comin' through the fog I see myself
in the way your eyes dance around the subject.
Give me one bite of your time to say
how I keep the shadows in my hands at bay.

I know you’re afraid
but you hold your breath and suffocate
your smile my dear
complicated things
we can watch them burn until they sting
our eyes my dear

Though these times will try
to rain on your parade
no two are the same
our compassion may bring a burden
don’t bury it, celebrate

Shadows darkening
When the ceiling crumbles we can sing
of dawn so near
no we’re not alone
with our hands we’ll make a stronger home
away from fear

We will not consume
our humanity
for society
do you, do you feel like I do
then come away, leave this place

I know you’re afraid
but you hold your breath and suffocate
your smile my dear
complicated things
we can watch them burn until they sting
our eyes my dear
Shadows darkening
When the ceiling crumbles we can sing
of dawn so near
No we’re not alone
with our hands we’ll make a stronger home
away from fear

["Stronger Home" by Malcolm Gottesman]
