Lyrics: Hannah Frances Pautler
Music: Hannah Frances Pautler
The sun came back in one fell swoop
A sequence of grievances turned to grace
Yearning in the birds murmuring above
The rains pass as fast as love
Like shadows changing shape
What remains holds the weight, holds the weight
Spin me away, heavy light
Finally, there is room for me in the space between
As the flint strikes quick on the stone
There's a redemption in the fragile bone
As the brightness of sorrow punctures through the armor
I've built around the harm, and I'm sinking into the arms, and
I'm living into the changing light
I wish you had been there, wish you were more aware of me
In this body, there's a heart beating, and it's my heart
And it's your heart that I've needed
I needed better, better
And I don't forgive
I let it live in the space between
What's gone and what's given
And if there is another way, let it move me
And if there is a way out, let it be through me
