Makeshift Homes Lyrics by Motives

This World, Not Dead, Merely Sleeping

0

Though we are not bound by blood
You will remain a part of me
And though our time together may be short
I will remember you and everything you've done
And I promise
I am here for you
Because you were there for me
When it's time to leave this place
Will your bones be next to mine?
A welcoming presence brings a clarity that I have come to know as my saving grace
I want to go through life and see this world with eyes unclouded by hate
Day by day we feel the push and the pull
See the sparrows with the vulture hearts
Up above they survey the ground for those who have lost their way
But we are eagles and I implore you to ask not the sparrow how an eagle soars
I don't care about your history
It doesn’t matter anymore
In this life
Nothing promised, nothing owed
Stop changing who you are for acceptance
Everyone makes mistakes so just let them be
Mistakes-That’s all they'll ever be
Every one a stone in a landslide
Piling up at the bottom
Be that as it may, we have the strength
One by one we'll clear the debris
The weight of my thoughts lies heavy on my mind
And I know that you're the same way
Our hands in the dirt
We’ll build makeshift homes
Wherever we go
We'll be together
Though we are not bound by blood
You will remain a part of me
I will remember you
