I want to give you everything
Truth is
I don't want to give you everything given to me
Get in line
I want to break patterns
Make a new moment
But how can I trust I won't fuck it all up?
When I keep doing things I thought I'd given up
Dear unborn child that I can't bear having
Look at state of the planet
What kind of life would you have if you had it?
This is a nation of pushers and addicts
This is a time of great change
But the habits are deeply ingrained
And we don't have the strength to rip up the old fabric
The illusion is heavy
And it takes a maverick to stand in the cross hairs and say I won't have it
I can hear you calling
I see the light in the eyes of my love
And I want to make life
And I want to raise children
How can I battle the ego that tells me to multiply, multiply, make yourself many?
But the wisdom that says, don't do it
Much braver to get yourself ready for a strange life that will be distant and heavy sometimes
Bring a child into chaos like this
Bring a child into danger like this
The whole world is a factory floor
Isn't actually real, is a massive distortion
Place like this just makes you want to let go fast and keep falling
I can hear you calling
But I love you too much to not give you fair warning
If you want to be here, fine
I will wash myself in the waters and make myself pure for you
I will do what a human is born to do
Lay my life down to make sure home is warm for you
We lie in the long grass
Talk in a whisper
Nothing but birdsong
Nothing but love
Nothing but certainty
Bless the bold future
Bless the bold future
Bless the wild creature
If ever you open your eyes I will be here
I can hear you calling
But I love you too much to not give you fair warning
Love you too much
Love you too much
