Lyrics

I have watched the morning widen
Over fences leaning south
Seen the things we called forever
Learn to live without us now
Nothing asks for our permission
Nothing waits to be understood
So I quit saving life for later
And spent it while I could
I don't need a monument
Or my name cut into stone
Let the proof be in the living
In the choices I called my own
Let the wind erase my footprints
Let the years undo the rest
I was never here for keeping
I was here to spend it all
I have carried what was useful
I have buried what was not
Learned that mercy without courage
Is another kind of lock
There are miles that leave no marker
There are victories no one sees
Still I know the ground beneath me
Changed because it carried me
When the last note leaves the timber
When the dust falls from the air
I don't need the world to hold me
I was whole while I was there
I don't need a monument
Keep the marble, keep the praise
Give me one life fully answered
Every hour, every choice
Let the wind erase my footprints
Let the years take what they can
I was here with nothing hidden
I was here with both hands open
And I spent the whole thing living
