Survival

Who you gonna call when the lights go out
Who you gonna call when the world burns down
What if this is your one chance to live
The world is a story and you’re writing it
Love is survival

Voyager

You are a web
Simple and fine
Radiant in
Morning light
You are a tall
Northern pine
Sun and shadow
In your branches
I am a song
Sung for you
Traveling with you
On your way
I’ll be with you
in the time we made
In the songs we played
I’ll be with you
Voyager among the stars
Always bring your offering
Stories and sacred things survive
Songs in dark matter
fill up an empty space
If I told you this was easy
I’d be a liar, but
I’ll be with you
in the time we made
Where the willow sways
I’ll be with you
You held me when that bitter wind was driving so hard
You held me when the dark came in to swallow me alive
You held me when that bitter wind came driving so hard
You held me when the dark came in and to swallow me alive
You held me when that bitter wind was driving so hard
I’ll be with you
in the time we made
Where the willow sways
I’ll be with you

Keeps the Light On
03:40
|

|
Tell me that the earth
Will be here when I wake up
Oh and tell me will the stars keep shining
What will come of us
If we carry on like this
Frightened into frightening everything else?
Breaking is the first step to a new start
Better to see plainly all that I can
I build my joy out of the sorrow out of the marrow of imperfection
I build my joy a juxtaposition against a whole world of sad decisions
Thank the stars you’re here with me
To lay down and laugh on the living room floor
You recast the sad story, have me laughing til my belly is sore
And that keeps the light on
That keeps the light on
That keeps the light on
We must be poor of heart
To lose our only world
And yet we weep and work and feel it
I saw us as a child, looked into our raw hearts
It hurt to look but somehow also freed me
Breaking is the first step to a new start
Better to see plainly all that I can
I build my joy out of the sorrow out of the marrow of imperfection
I build my joy a juxtaposition against a whole world of sad decisions
Thank the stars you’re here with me
To lay down and laugh on the living room floor
You recast the sad story, have me laughing til my belly is sore
And that keeps the light on
That keeps the light on
That keeps the light on

Wild Things
03:14
|

|
You are a wilderness
I know this
First hand
I like to get lost in
Snow storms where
No tracks form
Find our way back to a place where
we build fires and cook all day
Hibernate, like
Wild things
You are a wilderness
I know this
First hand
Your monster impressions
Are so good
I couldn't live
Without them
Strange that we’ve seen death
And made life, so we know how sweet it all is
However the howling wind may blow
We'll wait this season out, and take it slow
Love is forever, you know, for
Wild Things
You are a wilderness
I know this
First hand
Normal things feel so far
And, they are
So I’ll rest in
You, while the forests sing far away
You, while the deserts bloom secretly
You, where the wild things come to play
You, where the wild things come to play

Pale Blue Dot
03:48
|
|||
|
The moon is calling quiet
My breath in the cold night
walk the long way home
Reach the edge of the water
the deep black sky
tears for speckled lights
Turn my eyes to heaven and
turn my eyes to the lovely
deep dark earth in my hands
What if we only have now
Everything turns in your heart
Every breath in the world
Oh when the wind blows
Deep in my old bones
The stories come trembling
Flashing faces
Footprints of a fox in fresh fallen snow
Everything breathing
I feel it under my skin
Been talking with spirits
My own and the world’s
About the time I’m spending here
Tiny spot on my shoulder
Could eclipse a pale blue dot
steal my place around the sun
These ordinary things,
extraordinary dreams
means everything
What if we only have now
Everything turns in your heart
Every breath in the world
Love is a compass
Here to guide us
When we’re walking blind
Flashing faces
How did I not know
All of this is so fragile
I feel it under my skin

Waiting on You
03:23
|
|||
|
I’ve been waiting on you
If you’re there could you say something
I’ve been waiting on you
Hoping you could hear
And the world is crying out all the time
Yelling stories into space
If you could hear us, I think you’d figure out
You put some things here out of place
I’ve been waiting on you
If you’re there could you say something
I’ve been waiting on you
Hoping you could hear
