lyrics

See this blood that flows between our veins
and keeps the ground beneath us.
Sweet as water, soft to touch and taste
and well enough to feed us;

these bones we wrap ourselves around
to keep our heads from falling,
strong as stone, unwilling to come down
to troubled minds that call.

I don't believe in worrying.
Having feet on the ground can count as something.
There's not too much I'm carrying
so I'll say what is worthwhile.

To measure worth in other terms or rounds
can only teach you one thing -
to forget about living here and now
and keep today from running

I take no relief in worrying.
To have a space in the crowd can count as one thing.
As long as you can carry it
what you say will be worthwhile.

And don't ask what my arms are open for.
I seek no kind reward in light of
honest words we'd work no harder for
to keep this world spinning round.

So lay your feet in cooler water
that leaves you time to breathe.
And don't make much of this disorder.
