You  are still burning
 The flame that is turning
 My smoldering ash  into a bird
So  stay close my brother
 I couldn’t stand the loss
 You are the bridge  of action
I  need you to help me cross
I  need you to help  me
So  when you break
My  arms I’ll take hold of  you
I  know your hearts  is a hand  that takes hold of me
My  hand that is breaking
 Is the hand that is making
 All the dead  things in me grow
 A gift of a holy  loss
 This burning  at the dross
 So when you break
 My arms I’ll take hold of you
I  know your hearts  a hand  that takes hold of me
 Why do you set out  to break the one thing
 The one thing  that I have to give
 Its hard to believe  that I could
That  I should begin  again
But  I know  you heart  is a hand
 So when I break
 Your arms you’ll take hold of me
 You know my hearts is a hand that takes hold of you
 So when you break
 My arms I’ll take hold of you
 I know your hearts is a hand that takes hold of me
 So when you break
 My arms I’ll take hold of you
 I know your hearts is a hand that takes hold of me
