Where the Love Begins

What does it mean to be alone What will it be like when you finally feel alright I wish I knew all the right words to say to you Make the pain and aching end A new chapter begin What does it mean to let go Of the fear I hold It's getting so stiff and cold I try to forgive because everything is everything And let the suffering in That's where the love begins And when we're over and done with this world And all our bodies begin to unfurl What happens next will remain a mystery So please keep these memories close What does it to mean to make a name Create a legacy or great acclaim Wish we had extra days to spend more time Just laying awake, warm in place I'd like to tell you it's all fine And help you sleep well through the night What does it mean to welcome in The hurt and pain, as our bodies change Acceptance lies in crevices and openings If we let the suffering in That's where the love begins And when we're over and done with this world And all our bodies start unfurl What happens next will remain a mystery So please keep these memories close What does it mean to pass on or pass through To the other side, to which we are too blind We leave behind a scattered life, an empty mine A web of context, matter, property and time What if we tried to see it as a blessing Would the sadness lessen Would the weight seem to rise from our strife Finally see you as a whole in this life If we let the suffering in That's where the love begins And when we're over and done with this world And all our bodies start unfurl What happens next will remain a mystery So please keep these memories close
