We can't control the weather, can't turn the sky from grey to blue
We can't make the world behave, can't even watch the evening news
We can't see the future, can't know our loving will survive
But I can take your hand in mine
And we can tend our flesh and bone tonight
Flesh and bone and heart to heart
It's a start, it's a start
We can't find real meaning by worshipping blue light
We can't fill the big divides, can't stop the culture fights
I can't fix you, baby, and don't you try to make me right
But I can look into your eyes
And we can mend our flesh and bones tonight
Hold me now til I don't feel scared
Squeeze me tight til the world is fair
Show me that the sun will always rise
Love me so the sun will always rise
I can't save the planet, can't redeem a single soul
I can't make time stand still, can't stop us growing old
I can't explain why you're the one who makes me feel all right
But in the beating of our hearts
I found place where we can start
To grow a little hope, shine a little light
To just be flesh and bone tonight
We can just be flesh and bone tonight
