lyrics

As we sat on a lake
Thinking 'bout things
Waiting for the earth to take back what's hers
As we follow

As we sat in the sand
Dirt in our hands
Waiting for the air to take back what's hers
As we follow

And we washed up on the shore
Baptized ourselves
Sailing to the edge of where we came from
As we follow

Give yourself up to, give yourself up to yourself
Never let nobody tell you you're somebody else
What is your story, what is your story to tell?
What are the scars in your story that you have to shed?

As I fell into the void
Tumbling down
Crashed into a rolling river of doubt
I thought no-one had followed

You grabbed onto my hand
Said, "don't worry, my friend"
Swam me to the edge of where we came from and said,
"I will always follow."

My bones quivered and shook
I needed the sun to warm my weary bones
And then when she came around
There you followed

Give yourself up to, give yourself up to yourself
Never let nobody tell you you're somebody else
Heaven is closer when you lay your worries to rest
Darling you wonder what healing your story could do
Darling you wonder what healing your story could do
