lyrics

through the embers of our night, we remember our son cries
smoldering through their disguise, flaming with amazement

there’s a boy we can’t erase, in each of us he’s out of place
under tender eyes he day-, dreams until your own shake him awake
call in…

see the woman in my face, greet the shedding of that shame
when you took my hand, stubborn harshness peeling back
how I opened up so quietly

through the ash I let her in, fill my voice and warm my skin
wrap me in the clothes she’d pick, not some frail shadow

there’s a boy we can’t erase, holds the love of being raised
and the courage to embrace, the things in me which he can’t yet explain
call in..

see the woman in my face, greet the shedding of the shame
when you took my hand, held it like an open plan
how I understood so quickly
she is me
