Because You Do

Lyrics

No form that draws the cutting hand of time Of shadows long and by gone days behind The dearest splay of confidence shattered Most sadly lost the things that do not matter

I slipped the coil, made the beggars’ plea That when I ask your charity is free I missed the line that’s never drawn in ink Which separates the thing from what I think

I go on though the ending’s always near With cracked beliefs I cradle like they’re clear Each dawn I greet with hope I can’t defend- A stubborn flame that flickers to pretend

Oh, would the stars appear to sketch the night Bring down the dark within the grasp of light And sing the tune assembled for the flight That leaves us breathless, longing for what’s right

I’ve seen what all a life can hope to see The helplessness, the lies, the cowardly It is not spite, just what I choose for me And yet, I know the best is yet to be

I go on though the ending’s always near With cracked beliefs I cradle like they’re clear Each dawn I greet with hope I can’t defend- A stubborn flame that flickers to pretend

I go on though the ending’s always near With cracked beliefs I cradle like they’re clear Each dawn I greet with hope I can’t defend- A stubborn flame that flickers to pretend

Because YOU do Because YOU do
