lyrics

We would call it a daily miracle
We could call it a daily planet
Not the enemy of the people
Learning how best to inhabit
Other times and other places
Old departures new arrivals
Recognitions of stranger faces
Strategies surpassing survival

I wouldn't make up the body in the street
Any more than the body you occupy and fear
I wouldn't take time so precious and sweet
If it weren't worth your laughter or tears
I wouldn't race my deadline to fool or fake it
Life's more beautiful than even I could make it

We started around campfires
We lit stories kept the dark away
Not for nothing did we ever aspire
Than to cobble together one more day
Out of wishes hopes and dreams
We might grasp but never quite reach
Fueling our whispers and our screams
In service to lessons impossible to teach
