lyrics

All those people
You tried to love
And loved to hate
Are first in line at heaven's gates
All those people
That smile at you
Their eyes so true
Makes you wonder what you're going through

I exist alone in the hollowed husk of a white pine
Listening to critters crawl up my spine
Staring at the tracks I've left behind
I exist alone in the crowded cross walks
Parking meters, clotted car lots
Beating hearts will never stop

All my children
Will learn to love
And learn to hate
To plant their cross in a gust of fate
All God's children
Will turn the page
Of a revolving age
They'll join together the night and the day

But I exist alone

Warming wind and violet skies
Heal my heart
Golden light and burning bark
Heal my heart
I'll go away in a flame of faith
To sear this flesh, to burn this grave
I'll disappear in a spotlit sun
To lose myself and gain the whole
