you are still burning 

the flame that is turning 

my smoldering ash into a bird 

so stay close my brother 

I couldn't stand the loss 

you are the bridge of action 

I need you to help me cross 

I need you to help me 





so when you break 

my arms I'll take hold of you 

I know your hearts a hand that takes hold of me 



my hand that is breaking 

is the hand that is making 

all the dead things in me grow 

a gift of a holy loss 

this burning at the dross 





so when you break 

my arms I'll take hold of you 

I know your hearts a hand that takes hold of me 





why do you set out to break the one thing 

the one thing that I have to give 

its hard to believe that I could 

that I should begin again 

but I know you heart is a hand 





so when I break 

your arms you'll take hold of me 

you know my hearts a hand that takes hold of you 

so when you break 

my arms I'll take hold of you 

I know your hearts a hand that takes hold of me 

so when you break 

my arms I'll take hold of you 

I know your hearts a hand that takes hold of me
