Lyrics

Your father was always the rational kind
 He followed the news he read all the science
 There's no room for more, no room to expand
 Would you really give birth astride sinking sand?
 For the world is a lung we barely breathe through
 Why make a new life to pass it on to?
 So I searched for a way to keep you a dream
 One that lived in my heart and would never be seen
 But you, my son, you broke through it all
 Through every reason each side of the wall
 You, my light, my hope at the end
 You my son, my starting again
 My starting again
 Your father was always a practical man
 The oceans are rising, the hole is expanding
 I've seen what's coming, the ash in the sky
 He told me “My woman, we don't have a right
 You'll never find a reason better than this
 To keep your heart in a closed fist.”
 So I searched for a meaning bigger than you
 Tried telling myself the right to do
 But you, my son, you broke through it all
 Every reason each side of the wall
 You, my light, my hope at the end
 You my son, my starting again
 My starting again
 My starting again
 My starting again
 When you appeared
 It was louder than sense
 Stronger than life
 Bigger than fear
 Yeah when you appeared
 It was fire and God and tears and oceans of light and suddenly hearing his
heart loud and clear
 Like he was starting again
 Starting again, starting again, starting again, starting again
 Yeah we were starting again, starting again, starting again
 Your father was always the rational kind, till you arrived…
