All That We Let In Lyrics by Indigo Girls

All That We Let In

0

[Intro]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
[Verse 1]
The dust in our eyes our own boots kicked up
Heartsick we nurse along the way we picked up
You may not see it when it's sticking to your skin
But we're better off for all that we let in
[Verse 2]
We've lost friends and loved ones much too young
With so much promise and work left undone
When all that guards us is a single center line
And the brutal crossing over when it's time
[Chorus]
(Ooh) Well, I don't know where it all begins
(Ooh) And I don't know where it all will end
(Ooh) We're better off for all that we let in
[Verse 3]
One day those toughies will be withered up and bent
The father son, the holy warriors, and the president
With glory days of put up dukes for all the world to see
Beaten into submission in the name of the free
[Verse 4]
We're in an evolution I have heard it said
Everyone's so busy now, but do we move ahead?
Planets hurling and atoms splitting
And a sweater for your love you sit there knitting
[Chorus]
(Ooh) Well, I don't know where it all begins
(Ooh) And I don't know where it all will end
(Ooh) We're better off for all that we let in
[Bridge]
See those crosses on the side of the road
Tied with ribbons in the median
They make me grateful I can go this mile
Lay me down and never wake me up again
[Verse 5]
Kat writes a poem and she sticks it on my truck
We don't believe in war and we don't believe in luck
The birds were calling to her, what were they saying
As the gate blew open and the tops of the trees were swaying?
[Verse 6]
I pass the cemetery, walk my dog down there
I read the names in stone and I say a silent prayer
When I get home you're cooking supper on the stove
And the greatest gift of life is to know love
[Chorus]
(Ooh) Well, I don't know where it all begins
(Ooh) And I don't know where it all will end
(Ooh) We're better off for all that we let in
