lyrics

I don’t deny myself a drop or two at dinner time.
I won’t admit to half the things you think I’ve never tried.
I ain’t no fool—you lift your head, they pull the trigger.
It’s the battles that you choose that keep you safe.
The war is something bigger.

I’ve lit out angry at the trains a’passing by the way.
I’ve thrown my hands up and I’ve hollered out for it to rain.
The silence was strong—but I guess the message was delivered.
Just a voice out in the wilderness
Calling out to something bigger.

There’s a single star that makes the morning bright,
But when you pull the shade—a million points of light.
And they’ve been there all along.

The old man rambled soft and low about his golden days,
Closed his eyes and drifted off to sometime far away.
The whole room went cold. He said, “the angels come to get her.”
Another shovelful of tumbling dust
On the road to something bigger.

There’s a single star before the evening falls,
But when you pull the shade—then you can see them all.
And they’ve been there all along.
You’ve never been alone.
