You do not know me
I'm writing from England
A piece of your body they carved up and gave a name to
'Cause that's what people do
I fell asleep with my head on your chest
I was dreaming of rhythms and patterns in a world without walls
'Cause that's what dreaming's for
Give me strength
See me through
The very best of them and the worst of you
I pray that you don't go away
That you don't go away
You will now see in the rising of embers
The piece of your ego that you have long struggled to tame
And now it falls like rain
I will drink your mystery down Till I can't stay on my feet
Would you catch me if I fell
Or would you watch me returned to smithereens?
Give me strength
See me through
The very best of them and the worst of you
Give us hope
A glimmer of light
An oil lantern on our darkest night
Give us grace
No surprise that all of these notions only dwell in our own minds
'Cause that's what we're gonna need
At times when it's hard to breathe
The beauty we barely see in the light of the day
The wonder your chorus sings
The beating of tiny little wings
And the comfort that chaos can bring when we've lost our way
Give me strength
See me through
The very best of them and the worst of you
Give us hope
A glimmer of light
An oil lantern on our darkest night
I pray that you don't go away
That you don't go away
That you don't go away
That you don't go away
That you don't go away
That you don't go away
That you don't go away
That you don't go away
That you don't go away
