Shifts of Light

Composed by Allison Crowe

We are in water – we are in shadow – we are in trouble right now
We have to be sorted – we have to be careful – we have to be brave, still, somehow

I will open the path, we will speak tenderly
We will walk, we will save ourselves – render me
in shifts of light so I feel the day as it breaks,
it is breaking me, it is breaking us all

Over the surface – run sinews of cold dust – it’s too cold to feel my hands
It will not be easy – there will not be revelry – but we will see where it all stands

You will open the light, I will ask quietly
We will run, we will help each other – now severe me from the
absence of shelter to the defiance of the day
It will put us together – it will keep us all together

Under the water – we breathe in the water – we choke or we learn how to live
We’ve already sorted – we’ve done what we wanted – but we are never quite done somehow

We will open our arms, we will speak graciously
We will fall, we will brace ourselves – deliver me to the
patience of our laughter in a quiet loving hand
We will be on our own, we will hold our own, we will meet again,
We will meet again
