Continuum

It's blood work, love hurts, left it's DNA
Coded with bones, skin, hair, and face
Are prayers, poems, memories and pain
Sense of laughter, joy all the same
Survivors that raised us
How they overcame
What weight they must carry
Wish I could share the load
But I faced it and broke
That's one way to grow
When grief helps you see clear to a new road
It's a ritual to heal lifetimes ago
What we don't face, we replay, we then pass on
Until we see ourselves honestly and write a new song
The dreamworld of the spirits is the ground that we walk on

Who you are is built upon the people of before
One day you will be ancestor
Continuum is cure
What is surface in you
It will be tested
What is deepest in you
Will be multiplied
It will be offered in service
Of something that's greater to equal the furnace of your deeper purpose
No none of us certain on just how this life works
We focus on guideposts
The light in between us
We're letting it lead us

We're letting it lead us

For our moms, and our mom's moms, cousins and our aunts
For everyone they lost
And every nightmare that haunts
For the sins of the father that was hidden by a cross
For everyone that gave it all to fight for a cause
To see that cause get twisted
Get lost in the claws of the system that dissed us
That inflicted violence
The miles they walked to finally find peace
The sweetness they gave us
The dimples in cheek
The spice like berbere and the sugar in our tea
The home remedies, and how we trust our dreams
There's an Amharic accent any way I speak
And if you catch it then you know it's the most beautiful thing

Continuum is cure
That's all we know for sure
Continuum is cure
That's all we know for sure
Continuum is cure
That's all we know for sure
Continuum is cure
That's all we know for sure
Continuum is cure
That's all we know for sure
Continuum is cure
That's all we know for sure
