Emily Says (Red Ladder Version)

our fate has seeds in the ground and there they will wait

inches from sunshine

and rootless here they allow

to lengthen the days

and cover us over

cuz when it is time to sprout

ringing with silver and cymbal sound i'm hoping that heaven will hear me out

it hinges here in the air

a garden in wait

blanket of sunshine

and i'm like "i wanna be there"

and emily says "hope still appears" and though i know in my heart it's right feeling like hurting myself tonight nobody's candle is burning bright

the wind inside the blades of grass will unbind it

well i've been to the mountain high and melting up into open sky

you are the voice and the reason why
