[00:10.46] | Your father was always the rational kind |
[00:15.68] | He followed the news he read all the science |
[00:20.93] | There's no room for more, no room to expand |
[00:26.37] | Would you really give birth astride sinking sand? |
[00:31.58] | For the world is a lung we barely breathe through |
[00:36.61] | Why make a new life to pass it on to? |
[00:41.81] | So I searched for a way to keep you a dream |
[00:46.92] | One that lived in my heart and would never be seen |
[00:52.66] | But you, my son, you broke through it all |
[00:57.67] | Through every reason each side of the wall |
[01:04.11] | You, my light, my hope at the end |
[01:10.02] | You my son, my starting again |
[01:18.83] | My starting again<br> ~<br> |
[01:31.99] | Your father was always a practical man |
[01:36.89] | The oceans are rising, the hole is expanding |
[01:41.84] | I've seen what's coming, the ash in the sky |
[01:47.03] | He told me "My woman, we don't have a right |
[01:52.27] | You'll never find a reason bigger than this |
[01:57.58] | To keep your heart in a closed fist" |
[02:02.86] | So I searched for a meaning bigger than you |
[02:08.16] | Tried telling myself the right thing to do |
[02:13.52] | But you, my son, you broke through it all |
[02:19.16] | Every reason each side of the wall |
[02:25.02] | You, my light, my hope at the end |
[02:30.85] | You my son, my starting again |
[02:39.79] | My starting again |
[02:45.80] | My starting again |
[02:51.71] | My starting again |
[03:04.04] | When you appeared |
[03:06.80] | It was louder than sense |
[03:09.61] | Stronger than life |
[03:12.36] | Bigger than fear |
[03:15.06] | Yeah when you appeared |
[03:18.61] | It was fire and God and tears and oceans of light |
[03:25.55] | And suddenly hearing his heart loud and clear |
[03:37.58] | Like he was starting again |
[03:40.97] | Starting again, starting again, starting again, starting again |
[03:49.65] | Yeah we were starting again, starting again, starting again |
[04:01.64] | Your father was always the rational kind, till you arrived |
[00:10.46] | Your father was always the rational kind |
