Because there is so much love in resistance
It takes care to change
To want to change, or to keep
To change as in becoming human
To keep as in keeping the meadow a meadow after all
And what may lie beneath may stay beneath because
Our time is up
I want to gather your losses strand by strand
And braid them into swirls about your head
I want to call them ours because they are and
Pop open the umbrellas as the clouds move in
We can lead the second line back now
The streets have cleared and I’ve opened another bottle
The scientists are gathered in groups of three
Reverent in knowing and not knowing
We just shake our heads
They think we’re still dancing
Because there is so much love in resistance
It takes care to change
To want to change, or to keep
To change as in becoming human
To keep as in keeping the meadow a meadow after all
And what may lie beneath may stay beneath because
Our time is up
I want to gather your losses strand by strand
And braid them into swirls about your head
I want to call them ours because they are and
Pop open the umbrellas as the clouds move in
We can lead the second line back now
The streets have cleared and I’ve opened another bottle
The scientists are gathered in groups of three
Reverent in knowing and not knowing
We just shake our heads
They think we’re still dancing
