Lyrics

Sore eyes, swollen skies Look for anchors, look for ties Sharp sounds swim around Soak into the brittle ground Been so many days, been held inside this body Been so many days and there's nothing to do Been so many days in the throbbing of the darkness Been so many days, I've been waiting for you Back in the world We're We're waking up the road to joy Love calls through the walls Warms the earth wherever it falls Lights form and call you down Going in for another round This is how it goes, I've been listening to the voices This is how it goes, you were sure I was gone This is how it goes in this state of meditation This is how it goes, I've been waiting for you Back in the world We're waking up the road to joy Back in the world We're walking down the road to joy The engine stops and silence pours Fills the holes and cracked stone floors Young and old, girl and boy Dance along the road to joy Picture sharpens in your head Opens up when it's been read All the things you strain to see Can move on in and come to be Show your eyes, show your teeth That's the way to build belief Touch my hair, touch my knee You can wake up every part of me Get the blood to flow in every nook and cranny Get the blood to flow from my head to my toes Get the blood to flow, flowing all around me Get the blood to flow, put the life in my soul Back in the world We're walking down the road to joy Just when you think it can't get worse The mind reveals the universe Opens up a distant star That gives you straight just who you are I'm more a dog, you're more a cat Then we're getting bored of that Alive again, a bird, a snake Then we jump into the lake
