He met her, she had me, spiraling ribbons, cut the cord away
The twists of life the knots of dreams, this was before the great unraveling.
In time no strings attached so wild and free,
No ties to bind, a world before us
We threaded hopes within the tapestries we wove
So far away, the great unraveling
The great unraveling- she tied my laces, sewed the buttons, spun the rhymes
The great unraveling - he taught the ropes, he spared the rod, drew the lines
The great unraveling - she slowed the blood, my beating heart the streaming tears
The great unraveling.
The strands of time, the rules and chains that bind us,
That holds us down till we forget just how to fly,
Bound by fears, of change from old traditions
Began to sense the great unraveling
The great unraveling- she tied my laces, sewed the buttons, spun the rhymes
The great unraveling - he taught the ropes, he spared the rod, drew the lines
The great unraveling - she slowed the blood, my beating heart the streaming tears
The great unraveling.
The lives that we played before,
Stretch into our past define us,
Instinctively hearts entwine
Love brings us closer to carry us forward
The seeds that we sow today
The loose ends we tie and nurture
The threads that we spin and weave
To uncertain futures we usher them into the light.
Into the light, into the light, into the light, into the light.
Imprint the knowledge, pass the message on
I know I have to let you go
One day I have to say goodbye
I know that I will have to leave and give up to the light
Into the light.
