Jen Kearney - Writing on Water Lyrics

The wind is strong today
Nobody's outside but the birds of prey
They circle gracefully
While we stay inside and wait
And the word came down that day
Them knights had no armor
To stand in harm's way
But the king sent them out
And his minions are shouting
That they want it all back to normal today
Have we learned anything at all
Are we writing on water or are the veils gonna fall
Have we learned at all
Have we learned anything at all
So it's crossed fingers on washed hands
Needle drop on canceled plans
Wait on your government check
And just hope for the best
And for the lives it's cost
No words can shoulder
No grammar can hold
All the prayers and thoughts
And apologies for loss
Just don't feel like enough
Just don't feel like enough at all
Are we writing on water or are the veils gonna fall
Have we learned at all
Have we learned anything
Maybe another Phoenix gonna rise
Maybe we'll feed that good wolf inside
Maybe we'll go back to the garden and thrive
Maybe we'll bloom at exactly the right time
Maybe I'll hold your face in my hands again
But until then take this lullabye
We may be distant
We can still be light
Like the old stars
We're all made of
We may be distant
We can still be wise
Like billion year old stars
We're all made of
We may be distant
We can still be light
Like the old stars
We're all made of
We may be distant, baby
We can still be light
So please
Keep your light on

The wind is strong today
Nobody's outside but the birds of prey
They circle gracefully
While we stay inside and wait
And the word came down that day
Them knights had no armor
To stand in harm's way
But the king sent them out
And his minions are shouting
That they want it all back to normal today
Have we learned anything at all
Are we writing on water or are the veils gonna fall
Have we learned at all
Have we learned anything at all
So it's crossed fingers on washed hands
Needle drop on canceled plans
Wait on your government check
And just hope for the best
And for the lives it's cost
No words can shoulder
No grammar can hold
All the prayers and thoughts
And apologies for loss
Just don't feel like enough
Just don't feel like enough at all
Are we writing on water or are the veils gonna fall
Have we learned at all
Have we learned anything
Maybe another Phoenix gonna rise
Maybe we'll feed that good wolf inside
Maybe we'll go back to the garden and thrive
Maybe we'll bloom at exactly the right time
Maybe I'll hold your face in my hands again
But until then take this lullabye
We may be distant
We can still be light
Like the old stars
We're all made of
We may be distant
We can still be wise
Like billion year old stars
We're all made of
We may be distant
We can still be light
Like the old stars
We're all made of
We may be distant, baby
We can still be light
So please
Keep your light on
