lyrics

I'm lost in the wayback where they found Brian's body;
Where Alanna was pulled from the ice by her brother.
Where boys die from jumping too far and then breaking
Their bones, their hearts, their mother's lives.
And I'm so full of sorrow, and patience, and terror -
It just hurts so much brighter from here.

But I've walked through valleys with you and the horses,
Where Moses struck stone with his staff to find water,
Where bolder men choke on their own desires
And never know what it means to be free.
But you are a beacon, an ember, a teacher,
And there's something of you in my eyes.

I can take off my clothing to swim in the water.
The cold burns my body, I'm holding my daughter.
She's shaking and growing so tall in the summer,
We swim in the morning shade.
How will we survive these turbulent times?
I'm wild beyond my years.

I'm lost in the wayback where Brian went searching,
Where the earth gave way and the snow fell like thunder,
Where boys are still jumping with courage and abandon,
And they know what it means to be free.
I'm so full of wonder, and patience, and terror -
It hurts so much brighter from here.
