Sleep not as an island Pillar of the trenches seven miles deep But ground yourself with Jacob's ladder Rocks and bridges holding back disease And when you cannot move Let Earth then move herself to hold you up For if you push away her arms They'll not return Do you feel the blood divide beneath your skin? Do you know a thousand battles wage within? Do you see your own reflection when you stare into the rising water at your feet? Alone, you cannot win Blink if you can hear me From across the untold miles where proud you stand Hold on to your humility Hold on to your life, like I hold on to your hand Hold on to something stronger than blood Something stronger than words Something stronger than empty air we breathe When weaker is all we seem to be Do you feel the blood divide beneath your skin? Do you know a thousand battles wage within? Do you see your own reflection when you stare into the rising water at your feet? Alone, you cannot win Everything will go tonight Earth will overflow tonight It's all in who you know tonight
