Small Agency - A Thousand Years

Let it take a thousand years
Let these tired voices drown
And I will wake beneath the moonlight
And bathe myself in quiet sounds

Let it take a thousand years
Let me wake each day in peace
Walk through life in slow motion
Have something to give for all I see

I've been burning through the atmosphere
Falling through the same old fears for ages
And I don't know how to feel alive
If I'm not consumed by fire that rages

Lord please pick me up and hold me in the light
so I don't have to breathe
So I can see my life like a city from an airplane
And watch myself like you watch me

We keep all our shit at home
And come home to it every evening
Let's take it out and make a garden
And tell the world to go to hell

I don't want to kill a thing
Especially not the little details
Water drops on my razor in the shower
Before I rush out the door

And when I have to choose between beautiful
I will choose well
And pray what's left behind be blessed
The tragedy of life is it's too full

Lord please help me share the songs I've sung
With all whose hearts can hear
If my heart heard half the things I've said
Maybe my head would be clear

I know I've been here before
Out of breath and out of answers
Wishing I could get there faster
Wishing I'd been born a dancer

So let it take a thousand years
There is no end and no beginnings
Just a moment when we shift
From holding on to letting go 341

And that moment lasts forever
And all our words turn into water
That wells up in the soil in springtime
While we watch the world below

While we watch the world below
