Baby I am home in the wake of your skin
Always be open to your path and your journey
She cradles my loneliness
Universal test, feel the weight of my love put your hand on my chest
The battle that we face is a place where our scars come from
My love we are destined to teach these ones to be brave
Courage is birthed from the womb on the first light of day
Yeah, the day you were born you came out perfect never meant to be torn
Never been so loud in the violence
Never been so proud of a people
When we're fighting for a change
Not afraid to lose it all despite all the rage
So we burn a little sage and write poetry
Wiser than the enemy will ever be
Are you here to protect or arrest me?
I can't tolerate the hate, and I′m losing sleep
Can′t breathe because they're choking out a war in me
I wonder if she reads them or if they get lost
In the stars, the stars, in the stars
So many parts to a heavy heart
If there′s no beginning, then where would you start?
Start, start, where would you start?
So we carve 'em into story Totem poles
Because we′re always searching for a certain goal
A pattern of physics, a role
Don't believe all you′re told
If God's on our side we can take the stairs
Flipping through my chapter seven
I live with the snakes in the great deception
No court in this country for men
Who steal from their mother on paper with pen
Is this the way we should go?
Kissing, soft top feet of my goddess
We walk the earth, baby yeah we got this
Focus, and it′s redirected
Grateful, and I'm resurrected
Stubborn, But I know the way
You′re the skin of my drum
To your rhythm I will sway
We will not go gently into the darkest of days
Grandma′s here, and she says persevere
Take a walk in her mocks sees a trail of tears
And our fears, are the same as they ever were
Beers numb the pain of our holocaust years
Always mobbing and motion
Maybe, baby be an island over an ocean
Your arches, how they bend and contract in my conscience
Never slipped through the grip of my thesis
And my theory is I shine in your presence
Wonder if she reads them or if they get lost
In the stars, the stars, in the stars
So many parts to a heavy heart
If there's no beginning, then where would you start?
Start, start, where would you start?
