about

This song started as some words to my daughter and then grew into a song about strength and healing.

lyrics

You’ve been having trouble sleeping
Because your worries hiss and growl at night and hide behind the door
So here’s my armour, you can take it off my chest
I don’t think I need it anymore

When it hurts you can’t help but feel like you’re broken
But I know how just far you can bend in the wind
The moments you long for will wait while we're taking the time that is needed to mend

Why aren’t the gods to whom they’re praying
The ones among us healing minds and bodies with just their mortal hands?
It will cost them much more than the tithes that they’re taking
When they sign off on those less-than-Holy Plans

When it hurts you can’t help but feel like you’re broken
But I know how just far you can bend in the wind
And the end of the world won’t come just because we’re taking the time that is needed to mend

You’re worn to the bone. And you’re tired of chasing
The same damn things you’re always running from
The devil you know is the devil we’re facing
And we’ve got a few more angels yet to come

When it hurts you can’t help but feel like you’re broken
But I know how just far you can bend in the wind
The moments we long for will wait while we’re taking the time that is needed to mend

And The end of the world won’t come just because we’re taking the time that is needed to mend
