Sturdy

I don't know where to start
Tangled up in loose ends
Sturdy on the small parts

I'm almost halfway there
Closer than a stone's throw
Further than a lost heart

Tie me up within the tight rope
Cut me loose, so I can unfold
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Hold hope deep within
You are fighting farther than my wildest dreams went
So close you have been
Tether never larger ever than a loose grip

I break with just a touch
I can't stop the bleeding
You can stop the whole rush

So as the wind runs still
Patience by the waters
Raging like the dry brush

All the streams will be your cool touch
While the fire binds my wounds up
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Hold hope deep within
You are fighting farther than my wildest dreams went
So close you have been
Tether never larger ever than a loose grip

There's a longing while I limp home
Like the crying of an old crow
Will the ember always grow cold
Will the rain dry by tomorrow
All the treasure I've been troving
Never held a hope worth holding
Walk the tight rope to the growing
Finally caught in freedom flowing

Hold hope deep within
You are fighting farther than my wildest dreams went
So close you have been
Tether never larger ever than a loose grip
