lyrics

I am but seashells
crushed under hooves
of beach riding horses
from out of the woods.

I am but old grain
withered and dried,
I'll never serve
because I'll never rise.

Don't you say these words.
No matter how dark it can get.
Don't you say these words
I know how dark it can get.

I am but moth wings
dusty and shy
living without eyes
no way towards the light.

I have been snowmelt
crystalline blue
inching down mountains
never getting near you.

I have been bear-paws
crunching the leaves
trapped in a new light
I'll follow your lead.

We don't have to be afraid
no matter how dark it can get.
We don't have to live in fear
perfect love holds us yet.

I've been nearsighted,
bound by the past.
I never thought sunlight
in my life could last.

Now I've been awakened
You broke into me.
You tore all my chains off, now I can be free.
