lyrics

What’s this light in our lives?
Tricky fascination, concentration on fire.

In the morning when I rise,
and I fall into my ways.
Like an ocean wave I ride,
and forget from where I strayed.

There’s something in the way that it is
fundamentally full of life.
Something that was meant to be lived,
naturally full of surprise.
We don’t have to make it harder than this my friend.
We don’t have to make it harder than this my friend.

There’s really nothing in the way, struggling still.
What makes it feel so hard has always been our will.

But the worries creep in slow.
Want to set my soul at ease.
But I’m pulled by undertoe.
So my doubt is all I see.

There’s something in the way that it is
fundamentally full of life.
Something that was meant to be lived,
naturally full of surprise.
We don’t have to make it harder than this my friend.
We don’t have to make it harder than this my friend.

Is not the cup that holds your wine
the cup the potter burns?
Is not the lute that soothes
hollowed by your knives?
The deeper that the sorrow carves,
the more the joy can fill.
What makes it feel so hard has always been our will.

Only in the dark do we find light.
Only in our depths do we find height.
