The Only Absolute

Ten years of age

And I've got into troubles

Got into situations

But I got out too

The nineties were great

We all played together

Played in the rain

No worries and no rules

I was born a little lucky

Born a little loud

Born not so streetwise

I learnt that on my own

I was hungry for life

Hungry to grow up

Hungry to change the world

And set the sky alight

But at night

When the sky is just a glimmer

My hunger takes a back seat

And it's time to realign

The world is such a beauty

I can't see it with my eyes

But I swear it comes a-singin'

A resonating line

Then I'm calm

It goes

Twenty years later

Think I've found what I need

People in my life who make me complete

Something feels wrong

With this comfort I feel

Things I never comprehended but are real

My heart it is broken

By the ways of the world

The ways of the riches

And the haze of the poor

The glazed eyes of the middle

They think they're in control

The more my days they go

The more weary my soul

So I don't know

My mind it has left me

And so has my song

The world it rages

And nothing is certain

Take me to ten again

When rain was just rain

This time of low

This time of lonesome

I think of you and know

My heart can be okay

So let's go

When this tide it turns over

When I can have your hand in my hand

In a wide open field

I don't know

Don't know where I want to be

Don't know how I want to live

Don't know how I want to give

When nothing is certain

My absolute is you
