I watched queen mama carry our castle and our king So I thought it ordinary to fly with just one wing Now, you run your hand along my shoulder And all I feel is lightness Buoying my bones, feel myself grow Lighter in our ways together Lighter in our ways together In my days of carrying on I never liked light things I thought the more I carried, the more that life would bring And it made my life so heavy, I couldn't give a thing Like love, not really New, to leaning back and falling open You reached right out to let me Know that you will hold up the heavy load With me Carrying the world between us marrying the world between us deepening in lightness Marrying the world between us (lighter in our ways together) Carrying the world between us (lighter in our ways together)
