From Debris
Embracing Perfect Imperfections: From Debris
Lyrics
Your feet upon the snow dear
Your feet are on the snow, my dear.
I knew you could not believe it
I sensed you couldn't accept or comprehend it.
There was no time to put shoes on
There wasn't enough time to put on shoes.
You were woken to alarms ring
You were abruptly awakened by ringing alarms.
You barely left your blankets
You hardly emerged from your covers.
To see your neighbors house on fire
To witness a neighbor's house ablaze.
They were standing right beside it
People stood close to the burning house.
It's difficult believing
It's challenging to believe.
When you can't tell what you're seeing.
When you can't decipher what's in front of you.
From debris you and me could start something
Out of the wreckage, you and I could initiate something new.
From backseats behind the trees won't know one thing
Even from obscured places, our connection remains unknown.
From debris, you and me…
From the chaos, you and I...
Your feet upon the road dear
Your feet on the road, my dear.
Run between the houses
Running amid the houses.
Your arms were filled with water
You held water in your arms.
Without the hesitation
No hesitation in your actions.
To know what your were doing
Understanding your actions.
I think people can be perfect
I believe people can be flawless...
When they do not think about it
When they aren't consciously striving for it.
I think people can be perfect
I believe people can be flawless...
From debris you and me could start something
From the wreckage, you and I could commence something.
From backseats behind the trees we'll know thing
Even hidden away, we'll understand.
From debris you and me
From the wreckage, you and I...
Staring at nothing
Gazing at emptiness.
For hours and hours
For long stretches of time.
Run from the evening
Running through the evening.
Run with the water
Running alongside the water.
From debris, you and me
From the wreckage, you and I...
You're not above it
You're neither superior to it nor inferior.
You're not below it
You're on the same level as the debris.
