lyrics

I know where you have been
you're like a bird flying against the wind
you're like a fish, always swimming upstream
no guarantees there's no guarantee that you'll be redeemed

cause I know what you have done
you're like something green growing toward the sun
you're like the moon, you keep all our light
you don't mind guiding a few fools through the night

cause we get lost and we get found
learn to swim but hope to drown
and I'll pray for your lonely soul
and I'll pray for my own

So here is the new and wild world
we gotta figure out what it's worth
it's like we're all caught up in a blackberry vine
eating sweets and bleeding it seems all of the time

but I try not to be hurt by my love
I watch my skin burned by the sun
it's like sometimes I get too close to the heart
of the world my skin curls apart like madrone bark

I get dead, then I get alive
cross my heart and hope to die
and I'll pray for your sleeping soul
and I'll pray for my own

I pray for you in this bright blue swimming pool
I'm something old that wants to be new

I know it's true when I look up at the moon
it is something old that wants to be new

I wonder too how your eyes. they got so blue
are you something old that wants to be new?

Are you something old that wants to be new?
I am something old that wants to be new,
so I pray for you in this bright blue swimming pool.
