A Long Way Up

Here in the great unraveling
So much of this is baffling
When breathing feels like gambling
Nowhere to go but here

Things come together then fall apart
We gather up our broken hearts
And endings are just a place to start
And so we start again

We're gonna climb this ladder rung by rung
We're gonna count our blessings one by one
It's gonna take a little grace and luck
'Cause baby it's a long way up
Baby it's a long way up

When the days are short and the stars align
We live in time outside of time
Slow dancing as the new moon shines
With you humming in my ear

We're gonna climb this ladder rung by rung
We're gonna count our blessings one by one
It's gonna take a little grace and luck
'Cause baby it's a long way up
Baby it's a long way up

Last night my dog sat barking at the world
Yesterday I heard the wild cranes pass
Morning came creeping in at dawn
Like amber on the frosted glass

Mud sat up and looked around
And wondered at the world it found
'Til 'ventually the mud laid back down
Smiled and said amen

We're gonna climb this ladder rung by rung
We're gonna count our blessings one by one
It's gonna take a little grace and luck
'Cause baby it's a long way up
Baby it's a long way up
Baby it's a long way up
