Now speak of anger, forget all the fears
You've kept about love and sex and death and faith
Erased or swinging sweet
From around her neck and between her breastsLet every lonely body finally break it's fear of flesh and say
"How strange it must've been back when we shook at the sight of sweat"
Let our worries wander out of like water streaming from a spring
And sing of all the things our heads have failed to ruin yetThere's so much they have failed to ruin yet
Bright as lightning, loud as thunder
We'll move all the hurt aside to let love sustain our passions
And move up and onwardWe are not our losses
We are only the extent to which we love
So build a home for your family
And build a castle for your friends
Now set their beds with sheets and blankets
Keep them safe until the endI've felt the damage and burn from the fallout
My love failed but theirs prevailed
My friends, I'm only flesh and bone
But I won't let you die aloneSo leave our hearts at the foot of the mountain
Let our burdens be locked in the stone
If you will help me roll it upward
I won't let you die aloneI see a beauty springing upward
From the earth and from out our hearts
For all the bad that seems to plague us
I swear to you there's goodThey say that death is not a problem
It's a promise, I can only say for sure that when it makes your bed
I'll kiss your head goodnight
So speak of all the love we lost and what it cost usLeft us beg our breath to stop but we kept on
And we were strong, we stayed bright as lightning
We sang loud as thunder, we moved ever forward
We are not our failures, we are love
