lyrics

in our hands
(Sonia Tetlow)

It’s hard to know just how to go when your rudder runs aground
Can’t even turn to where you’ve been when it so quickly disappears
Where are you now? Where did you go?
While I was waiting all that time and did you know?
I can never reconcile the heights and the hollows

I need something
that I can see
we hold in our hands

I am running now down streets grown both crowded and spare
Zig-zagging like a kite on a string at the mercy of the wind
Searching the masked faces for shining eyes
Ceding the sidewalk as a kindness
Navigating all the day after day after days

I need something
that I can see
we hold in our hands

And I am free in my next dream
that’s hovering just out of sight
And I am breathing with intension
to hold back the night
And I am high as the red-wings
circling in the soaring skies
Wholly in this moment
wide awake and tired

Craving a common language in this tongue-tied Babylon
Can we agree at least that I, me, mine is no way to lead
How many people have to die
Before we the people on left and right
Form a more perfect union and cast the mad king aside

And this is something
that I can see
we hold in our hands
something
that I can see
we hold in our hands
in our hands
in our hands
