lyrics

To The New


No cheap painted promises
No barter with jewels
This structure is earthbound by butterfly rules
Such architect wisdom
Such poetic plan
For floating as mountains
For sturdy as sand

The dangers and warnings
Have crowded the door
We brush off their chilling
So far from this core
The warmness of corners
You’ve so skillfully laid
Unshaken foundations
unshakable

Now we open to the newness
One devotion
Grows past two
Watch the world
Look out for trueness
Wondrous window
Such a view

Join in with the playtime
You tickle and tease
Humility gliding
In joyful degrees
I’ll play you a concert
Groove with blinkers and cans
Sing foolish in April
Pluck slack rubber bands

Witness to the changes
Come lay by my side
Such gratitude growing
These blessings confide
Pile up all our kindling
This fire will grow
Relentless relearning
Of what we know
