Was a time when the whales floated over this forest
Was a time when the ice stood up to the sky
Here we are as our steps through the snow make a chorus
Here we are at the mouth of a ravenous cry.
Give me all the bones of empty promises
Give all the plans you couldn't keep
Give me all the hard rules and we'll wrap them in this broken wing
And I'll bury them here four miles deep.
Near perfect letters into releve
While doubt was creeping nearer
The peace you're missing isn't far away
But you won't find it searching in the mirror
Don't know why this wave rose up without warning
Don't know why the anchor fell from your hands
There's a port in the deepest part of the morning
And every breath, every breath will lead you to land
Give me all the bones of empty promises
Give all the plans you couldn't keep
Give me all the hard rules and we'll wrap them in this broken wing
And I'll bury them here four miles deep.
