Writing on Water (Updated EP Version)

The wind is strong today Nobody's outside but the birds of prey They circle gracefully While we stay inside and wait And the word came down that day Them knights had no armor to stand in harm's way But the king sent them out And his minions are shouting They want it all back to normal today Have we learned anything at all? Are we writing on water or are the veils gonna fall Have we learned at all Have we learned anything at all So its crossed fingers on washed hands Needle drop on canceled plans Wait on your government check And just hope for the best And for the lives it's cost No words can shoulder, no grammar can hold All the prayers and thoughts And apologies for loss just don't feel like enough Just don't feel like enough at all Are we writing on water or are the veils gonna fall Have we learned at all Have we learned anything Maybe another Phoenix gonna rise Maybe we'll feed that good wolf inside Maybe we'll go back to the garden and thrive Maybe we'll bloom at exactly the right time Maybe I'll hold your face in my hands again But until then take this lullaby We may be distant We can still be light Like the old stars We're all made of We may be distant We can still be wise Like the billion-year-old stars We're all made of We may be distant We can still be light Like the old stars We're all made of We may be distant, baby We can still be light So please keep your light on
