lyrics

The Same Thing for You

When a soul sets out on its journey to the west,
you say farewell, and hope for safe returns, I guess:
All braced for the worst and praying for the best.
It’s a conversation stripped of all its grace -
it takes your connection to its thinnest place.
It’s all down the line, instead of face to face.

The sparrow doesn’t hold on to the branch exclusively
- it holds on to the earth, down through the roots of the tree.

Sometimes you only have to feel it, too.
Send out your love, and hope it makes it through.
Act and live as if they’d do the same thing for you.

Put your faith in miracles, if it gets you through the night.
Bet your money on science - and hope you played it right.
Or send your love across the miles with no logic,
if it just feels right.

The sparrow doesn’t hold on to the branch exclusively
- it holds on to the earth, down through the roots of the tree.

Sometimes you only have to feel it, too.
Send out your love, and hope it makes it through.
Act and live as if they’d do the same thing for you.
