I've seen too much this year I long for it to pass The type of memories That turn our heart to glass My mother made me well My father worked the land In dust my ribs were formed And I'll return again Calm my soul Calm my soul We are bonded of the earth Its body and its breath We hurt the ones we love And we wound when we protect, God Calm my soul Calm my soul Calm my soul Who bleeds more Calm my soul Calm my soul I've walked behind for too long Now I will lead the way I have strayed, I have strayed, strayed away If you've loved in haste Thinking only of the cost Every river leads to land Every lover to a cross Your mind and heart at war And they thrash inside your lips Like and arrow passing through Your tongue can kill or it can kiss Calm your soul Calm your soul Calm your soul There is hope Calm your soul Who bleeds more Calm my soul Who bleeds more
