   how     did   we  get     here  and what    does  it  mean ... 

how did we get here and what does it mean 
who said it must be and when can we dream 

the world outside is cold and bright but when you take a breath 
you’ll inhale the sunlight and exhale the rest

we give up ourselves until love leaves a bruise 
invest in some chain mail to withstand abuse 

but what if love is more than just the sum of what it costs 
you yearn for the part of yourself you thought you’d lost

.. o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o---older     than we used        to be               and... 

we’re older than we used to be 
and closer to the ground beneath 
maybe we’ve got all the time to grow 
maybe we’ve got all the time and maybe we don’t, no

in spite of our failures the lines twist and curve 
to regrow the branches the night has disturbed 

but when we wake or take the shame of something free and bold 
and rest in the shade where the new greets the old
