Slow & Steady
You carved our initials
Into these family trees
But when the branches are bare and broken
Love is so hard to reach
We've learned to brace for the worst
And to read the last pages first
Surrender feels safe
Maybe the soul is the soil that holds the fallen seed
Or the light pouring down in between the rain clouds
Daring life to reach
Or maybe it's the rings in the trunk of the tree
A birthmark time will leave
To measure the past
But we can't dream when we're wide awake
Or fall in love with a heart too strong to break
Faith is expensive to taste
And time is borrowed loose change
That's already been spent
Maybe the soul is the tone of voice
That unearthed the words that we needed...
Maybe the soul is a suitcase that holds the backup plan
A collection of keys and the patience we need
To start again
Maybe it's the thresholds that swallow us whole
As we learn to let go
In spite of the dirt on our clothes
Into these family trees
But when the branches are bare and broken
Love is so hard to reach
We've learned to brace for the worst
And to read the last pages first
Surrender feels safe
Maybe the soul is the soil that holds the fallen seed
Or the light pouring down in between the rain clouds
Daring life to reach
Or maybe it's the rings in the trunk of the tree
A birthmark time will leave
To measure the past
But we can't dream when we're wide awake
Or fall in love with a heart too strong to break
Faith is expensive to taste
And time is borrowed loose change
That's already been spent
Maybe the soul is the tone of voice
That unearthed the words that we needed...
Maybe the soul is a suitcase that holds the backup plan
A collection of keys and the patience we need
To start again
Maybe it's the thresholds that swallow us whole
As we learn to let go
In spite of the dirt on our clothes
