When the light’s all golden are you gonna sing my praise When the night is fading are you gonna say i’ve changed When the curtain opens are you gonna call my name When the show’s all over are you gonna be glad you came Oooh oooh tell me will you sing my praise Oooh ooooh are you gonna be glad you came When it’s all slow motion are you gonna hold my gaze Cut to real time am i gonna fade from frame If it catches fire are you gonna fuel the flame When you’re left with ashes will you like who you became Oooh oooh tell me will you sing my praise Oooh ooooh are you gonna be glad you came I wanted you to love me But you could never know me Can you tell our scars apart Cause skin and bone all looks the same in the dark

Remember when you used to think you owned your thoughts Instead of your thoughts owning you Now you worry bout things you didn’t know you could What a change you’re going through Whacha gonna do when your heart goes out on their own Did you ever think you’d feel this way Whacha gonna do when you’re left with your thoughts alone Did you think you could feel so afraid It was simple when you weren’t tied to them Who you were was just for you Now you feel the weight of every little thing you do It’s a lot to live up to Whacha gonna do when your heart goes out on their own Did you ever think you’d feel this way Whacha gonna do when you’re left with your thoughts alone Did you think you could feel so afraid

one voice 04:26
Who will hear my voice, it’s just one voice Who will hear my voice, it’s just one voice it’s just a small piece of noise In a world longing for joy, this is my choice I I I wanna live like the things i say have the power to change same as the power to break I I wanna live like the things I do set in motion a riptide makin its way to a wave i wanna live like this.. Who will hear my voice, it’s just one voice Sometimes I wonder what’s the point In a world that feels destroyed But as I scream into the void, this is still my choice I I I wanna live like the things i say have the power to change same as the power to break I I wanna live like the things I do set in motion a riptide makin its way to a wave i wanna live like this.. You said you’re giving up, you said you got no choice That you tried but it don’t make a difference You said you’re giving up, you said you got no voice That they lied, left you feeling foolish You said you’re giving up, you said you got no choice But you do, you can live just for you I I I wanna live like the things i say have the power to change same as the power to break I I wanna live like the things I do set in motion a riptide makin its way to a wave i wanna live like i wanna live like words really matter actions speak louder

Walkin around like this is ok like all of the hurt and all of the pain Is what we are meant to endure everyday staying numb is who we’ve become It doesn’t have to be like this, no When I was younger I had a fire passion, desire, vision to chase Fightin the fight, loving the unloved trying to make it a better place But the monsters lie right to your face, ohh I let the rain fall fall fall I I let the rain fall down on me I I Let the rain fall fall fall fall on me I Let the rain fall fall fall I I let the rain fall down on me I I Let the rain fall falll I’m on my knees I am a woman who made an impossible promise nobody asked me to make Keepin my child protected from harm and whatever comes and I’m feeling the weight The guilt of failure, falling short, when they hurt Seeing the empty arms of all of the mothers and all the fathers And the panic in all of the others who are frozen here living in fear The monsters lie in plain sight, ohh I let the rain fall fall fall I I let the rain fall down on me I I Let the rain fall fall fall fall on me I Let the rain fall fall fall I I let the rain fall down on me I I Let the rain fall falll I’m on my knees It doesn’t have to be like this, no It doesn’t have to be like this

less alone 04:17
Your eyes say more than words could ever We were never good at articulating You hand on mine feels right And i don’t ever want to get good at faking I don’t mean to But I need you I’m less alone when I’m alone with you The lesson learned is gonna slip right through Don’t let it slip right through I’m less along when I’m alone with you The lesson learned is gonna slip right through I won’t let it slip right through I’m not gonna push you away, no I’m not gonna push you away I give so much why’d it’s hard to accept Love and simple kindness My heart is strong, but i’m tired of being wrong Confusing honest with weakness I don’t mean to But I need you I’m less alone when I’m alone with you The lesson learned is gonna slip right through Don’t let it slip right through I’m less along when I’m alone with you The lesson learned is gonna slip right through I won’t let it slip right through I’m not gonna push you away, no I’m not gonna push you away I’m less alone when I’m alone with you The lesson learned is gonna slip right through Don’t let it slip right through I’m less along when I’m alone with you The lesson learned is gonna slip right through I won’t let it slip right through

all we got 03:44
I hold hope in my heart I see glimmers every day In the way My children see the world I have love deep in my soul I’m reminded that it’s mine Every time I have a hand to hold I refuse to believe this all we’ve got That it’s all we’re worth That there isn’t more for us If we keep working toward the light Working toward that light Each of us deserves a life Without hate and without fear Together here To live not just survive I have faith in who we are Even when it’s hard to see The decency I know it’s underneath I refuse to believe this all we’ve got That it’s all we’re worth That there isn’t more for us If we keep working toward the light Working toward that light I’m never gonna give up on the light Even in the lost corners of the darkest night I’m never gonna give up on this light Even when I’m too tired and I’m losing the fight I refuse to believe this all we’ve got That it’s all we’re worth That there isn’t more for us If we keep working toward the light Working toward that light

I tried so hard to harden my heart To keep it from bleeding for every reason I was led to believe it’s too much If you can’t conquer, why even bother (ohh) so i tried ignoring (noo) but i don’t like where we’re going (soo) i’m out here bleeding again, saying Sing if you feel me, sing if you’re with me Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (i said) We are the lovers we are the lovers Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (i said) Doing our best to lift up each other Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (i said) We are the lovers we are the lovers Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (i said) We are the lovers we are the lovers I could’t see the pain of the world Without it turnin’ into my burden I thought maybe i could tune it out But that is a privilege not everyone gets (ohh) and if you turn it off, well (noo) that doesn’t make it stop so (goo) i’m out here bleeding again, saying Sing if you feel me, sing if you’re with me Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (i said) We are the lovers we are the lovers Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (i said) Doing our best to lift up each other Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (i said) We are the lovers we are the lovers Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (i said) We are the lovers we are the lovers We are the lovers, we are the lovers Never about us vs the others We are the lovers, we are the lovers (here i go bleeding again oh) Doing our best to lift up each other (my whole heart is bleeding, it’s bleeding) We are the lovers, we are the lovers (here i go bleeding again oh) My heart is bleeding, it’s bleeding

Giving me more doesn’t mean you less I’ll call it like it is and you can call it progress Giving me rights doesn’t take away yours I’ll do what i want to and you can do what you do of course Let’s thrive together They’ll say that we’re so clever If we thrive together We can each do whatever we want to Let’s thrive together They’ll say that we’re so clever If we thrive together We can be better than ever Helping another doesn’t mean you fall behind It’s just economics, but you can call it being kind Admitting problems doesn’t mean you’re at fault Say, we could change the system so that no one’s lives are under assault Let’s thrive together They’ll say that we’re so clever If we thrive together We can each do whatever we want to Let’s thrive together They’ll say that we’re so clever If we thrive together We can be better than ever (ok here we go, wooo) (put that foot, right there, in front of the other) (that’s right, good job!) (keep moving forward, where?) (no, no never backwards)

try again 01:22

Here I am My head barely above the water Come watch me drown Then tell me I could have done better Ohhh I know you really want me to sing But Nooo I don’t really know the words I keep trying to make it right somehow But I keep crying and it never makes a sound I know what I want and I want what I know But I’m wrong if I say it out loud Why does it feel like the only way I’m ever heard is if i burn it to the ground Here I am Surrounded by the fire You warm your hands Then tell me i should have known better Ohhh I know you really want me to sing But Nooo I don’t really know the words I keep trying to make it right somehow But I keep crying and it never makes a sound (never makes a sound) You watch me drown You watch it burn You never even say a word You watch me drown You watch it burn Does it even hurt Does it even hurt?

When you ask me how I am I’d like to answer honestly Too often I put on a smile Cause I think that’s what you’d expect from me I don’t want to perform for you I just want you to Want me the way I am If I tried to perform for you Would you see right through I need you to understand I need you to understand I know all the words to say I’ll make you laugh, I’ll make you stay And when I’m quiet for a while Will you say I’m not myself today I don’t want to perform for you I just want you to Want me the way I am If I tried to perform for you Would you see right through I need you to understand I need you to understand Sometimes I have this dream Where I lose my voice And all I feel is relief

about

This is an album about being a woman, a mother, a human being
during a time when things feel really bleak.
And it's about finding hope in all of the darkness.
