lyrics

Sticks and stones, broken hearts and bones, and the truth be told,

We might not make it through the night

Both young & old, it’s the pain we hold, it’s so hard to shoulder

please lord just help me get it right

Now I watch her cry for the falling sky & the crumbling signs

And I fear we’re losing ground

With hopes so high & eyes so wide on the highest climb

No wonder it feels so far when we falter



But the dust will clear, the straight and queer will be enfolded

The wheel will spin, every shade of skin will be golden

The scale will shake, Athena will unseat the throne

The seeds are sewn, behold how tightly we are woven



Now it’s no surprise, mothers die, cells divide (or poets dive)

And I’m here sitting still and centered now

If what we will is what we find, and what we find is they’re the same inside

Tell me one thing: how many does your us abide?



The dust will clear, the straight and queer will be enfolded

The wheel will spin, every shade of skin will be golden

The scale will shake, Athena she will take the throne

The seeds are sewn, behold how tightly we are woven
