The more you long for home The more sorrow that you're prone to The less that you're alone The more funerals you go to But don't be afraid to reach up Don't be afraid to love and be loved It's gonna take a lot of breaking to make it work To cultivate a shelterheart And put all our defenses in the dirt It's gonna take believing That our grieving will authenticate our love To say what we need to say And never give it up The more they know your name The more naked they will find you The less you face that shame The more guilt begins to bind you So don't be afraid to reach out Don't be afraid to doubt your dearest doubt It's gonna take a lot of healing to make it work To cultivate a shelterheart And put all our defenses in the dirt It's gonna take exposing That we're holding too much pride inside our bones Can you feel them waste away? We're all dying to be known Let's say what we need to say To make this body safe So the limbs can finally grow The limbs can finally grow Would we rather walk alone Or walk each other home?
