Tend the Fire

i don’t know what strange distant planet
you
think i’m from
but I know that yours shining up in the sky
is the brightest one
and though the distance between
might feel
like the farthest stars
you know the brighter they shine
the hotter they burn and the closer they
are
you tend the fire
i’ll go
get
wood out in the rain
and we’ll start the slow winding down of the night
again
constellations in the sky
connect our lives
the seasons change
but do we know their names
how they affect our ways
the currents of
the deltic days
you say of course
i say maybe
you show me all the things I didn’t see
you show me new ways to perceive
the way things move the way things
stay
let’s do it your way
let’s try it mine
i’ll try and understand the things you say
in my words you’ll try some sense to find
at the end of the day
i hope
you’ll still
wanna come inside
to the world we’re makin
one rotation
at a time
you tend the fire
i’ll go
get
wood out in the rain
and we’ll start the slow winding down of the night
again

we've got a fire and a heartbeat and a list of needs
wider than the day is long
we've got the whole world in our bodies
workin out where we belong
we've got a family with no guidebook in our backpacks
we've got no one but ourselves in our shoes
we've got the whole sunrise in our window
we've got
everything to lose
it's okay it's alright
the world is still magical and large
if we try if we try if we try we can
find it
i know no one's in charge
we've got a secret lake in our backyard
through the woods where we'd never been
til today when we stumbled across it
out for a walk on the weekend with your old friend
it was surprise it was way back and there was only one
beer can on the path so we knew
there were very few others who'd been there
today just levi me and you
and the only way to find it was to walk back
through the dark trees down the hill in the mud
or
the screen of your iphone on an internet map
from a satellite somewhere above
its okay it's alright
the world is still magical and large
if we try if we try if we try we can
find it
i know no one's in charge
we have
songs in our stomachs
we've got
work in the morning
we are
hungry for so much
we have
so much to offer
we have
do you hear the wind outside
the frog's spring lullaby
the moments passing
we've got a fire and a heartbeat and a list of needs
wider than the day is long
we've got the whole world in our bodies
workin out where we belong
we've got a family with no guidebook in our backpacks
we've got no one but ourselves in our shoes
we've got the whole sunrise in our window
we've got
everything to lose
it's okay it's alright
the world is still magical and large
if we try if we try if we try we can
find it
i know no one's in charge
