When you see me I'll be proud I'll be crashing out loud Like the dead black stars Are still part of the system And now, now we are too And now, now we are too When you met me I was torn From some cloth I'd never known And you sewed me up Into something beautiful And now, now you are too And now, now you are too Brother are you on your way Sister are you on your way That night we put on "Carolina" And it made me think of home A mess I had no hand in Torn from a cloth I'd never known It made me think of paw print tracks Andrew and his almanac Soldier brothers off to work Fathers mind is on a curse We sleep then wake to pots and pans Mommas doing the best she can That hill has scraped my hands and knees The light slips out behind the trees The silence builds and pulls and stacks God, speak and turn it all back Brother are you on your way So many things I need to say You always had the time Sister are you on your way So many things I need to say You always had the time
