SPIRIT AND BONE
Music/Lyrics by Sam Carroll
I came from a darkness then burst into flame
I tasted the stars 'fore I knew my own name
My bones knew oblivion 'fore my mouth knew the words
That I quiver at whispers is simply absurd
The earth that we stand on has stood before time
The soul that you brought here looks just like mine
So why do we break at the sight of a storm?
It’s the cost of our humanness taking its form
For I hear the canyons you carved with your worries
I feel the moon as she tugs on the waves
Why oh why do I crumble at whispers?
Why oh why do I weep all the days?
I’ve stood on mountains tall like my father
I’ve braved each storm God sends my way
Why oh why do I tremble at nothing?
Caught in the thoughts of the shadows at play
I am of above, I am of below
A soul of the sky, the earth is my home
I weep for the ‘bandoned, I weep for the pained
I weep for the ashes, the blood that has stained
I stumble, I break, I have sins to atone
I am ever a clash of my spirit and bone
But my soul will not break ‘gainst the weight of my skin
I thrive on the light within
Oh I am made of a fury, akin to a wave
I will wage many wars fore I go to my grave
I’m a tempest of heaven, a weight of the earth
I will wield every weapon I was handed at birth
Every hurt, every pain, I too know I’m alive
My body may break but my soul will survive
I am made to be water, to be tossed in the wind
I’m stardust, I’m human, I’m perfect as is
For I hear the canyons you carved with your worries
I feel the moon as she tugs on the waves
Why oh why do I crumble at whispers?
Why oh why do I weep all the days?
I’ve stood on the mountains tall like my father
I’ve braved each storm God sends my way
Why oh why do I tremble at nothing?
Caught in the thoughts of the shadows at play
Spirit and bone, spirit and bone
All we are made of us spirit and bone
Many before us, never alone
All we are made of is spirit and bone
Spirit and bone, spirit and bone
All we are made of us spirit and bone
Many before us, never alone
All we are made of is spirit and bone
