lyrics
The more you long for home
The more sorrow that you’re prone to
The less that you’re alone
The more funerals you go to
But don’t be afraid to reach up
Don’t be afraid to love and be loved
It's gonna take a lot of breaking to make it work
To cultivate a shelterheart
And put all our defenses in the dirt
It’s gonna take believing
That our grieving will authenticate our love
To say what we need to say
And never give it up
The more they learn your name
The more naked they will find you
The less you face that shame
The more guilt begins to bind you
So don’t be afraid to reach out
Don’t be afraid to doubt your dearest doubt
It's gonna take a lot of healing to make it work
To cultivate a shelterheart
And put all our defenses in the dirt
It’s gonna take exposing
That we’re holding too much pride inside our bones
Can you feel them waste away?
We’re all dying to be known
Let’s say what we need to say
To make this body safe
So the limbs can finally grow
The limbs can finally grow
Would we rather walk alone
Or walk each other home?
