What does it mean to be alone
What will it be like when you finally feel alright
I wish I knew all the right words to say to you
Make the pain and aching end
A new chapter begin
What does it mean to let go
Of the fear I hold
It's getting so stiff and cold
I try to forgive because everything is everything
And let the suffering in
That's where the love begins
and when we're over and done with this world
And all our bodies begin to unfurl
What happens next will remain a mystery
So please keep these memories close
What does it to mean to make a name
Create a legacy or great acclaim
Wish we had extra days to spend more time
Just laying awake, warm in place
I'd like to tell you it's all fine
And help you sleep well through the night
What does it mean to welcome in
The hurt and pain, as our bodies change
Acceptance lies in crevices and openings
If we let the suffering in
That's where the love begins
And when we're over and done with this world
And all our bodies start unfurl
What happens next will remain a mystery
So please keep these memories close
What does it mean to pass on or pass through
To the other side, to which we are too blind
We leave behind a scattered life, an empty mine
A web of context, matter, property and time
What if we tried to see it as a blessing
Would the sadness lessen
Would the weight seem to rise from our strife
Finally see you as a whole in this life
If we let the suffering in
That's where the love begins
And when we're over and done with this world
And all our bodies start unfurl
What happens next will remain a mystery
So please keep these memories close
