Have you been singing with the ghosts in the night?
Recreating these old crimes?
While the records just keep playin' these settled scores?
Have you been digging up bones in the night?
Reenacting these old fights?
Don't know why you're staging, waging these ancient wars
Our history won't defeat us no
But sometimes it feels like it might
And History won't repeat itself
Unless it's inside of our minds
We cross over and back
Future to past
But the truth walks out on a string
Right there between
Right there between
Well, I've been wearing myself out in a fight
With the rain and the lightning
Don't know how to stop all these coming storms
And I've been huddled by the coals in the night
Telling stories all my life
While the mountains stayed unclimbed
So I stayed warm
The mystery won't defeat us no
But sometimes it feels like it might
The mystery won't defeat us no
Unless it's inside of our minds
We cross over and back
Future to past
But the truth walks out on a string
Right there between
Right there between
When life breaks our hearts
All those scattered shards
Get swept up and settle in our minds
And when the light
Hits them just right
There's a beauty in that shine
And then love walks out on a string
Right here between
Right here between
