lyrics

Everything balanced on a nail
Everyone hanigng by a thread,
Being swatted by an unseen hand.
Everyone ready to explode
But you
There’s a quiet to you,
A constant that contrasts all contingency

When something falls, you clear the stones
For the sake of the survivor, you don’t obsess on what was lost
But build the day with care

Everyone mean and prejudiced
But your song is one of comfort
Your strength not to epose another’s flaw
But not to let it own any moment

I see you build a nest
And watch it fall
I see you build another and tend it
I see you sow a crop and watch it fail
I see you sow another
And another

So many in such a hurry
But you aren’t ruled by time
I wonder, is that what makes you so kind?
I leave you and I wonder-
What am I afriad of?
