Hallowell Lyrics by Sometymes Why

Sometimes Why

2005

[Verse 1- O'Donovan]
I thought when someone died
The spirit flew over furthest field
Now I see death will leave behind
A scrap of light, a broken smile
The remnants by which I might be healed
[Chorus- O'Donovan, Andreassen, and Merenda]
The dead lift me up
In brightest sky, the clouds below me race
The dead lift me up
I see them face to face
[Verse 2- O'Donovan]
Held high by these strong hands
Feeling the wind, I am born again
The mountain flowers, the desert sands
Surround me now, comfort me now
In death or dreaming I find my kin
[Chorus- O'Donovan, Andreassen, and Merenda]
The dead lift me up
In brightest sky, the clouds below me race
The dead lift me up
I see them face to face
[Verse 3-O'Donovan]
Our voices shake in song
Through memories we have long endured
Though this begins to make us strong
(The combing through of scraps of love)
It is through living that we are cured
[Chorus- O'Donovan, Andreassen, and Merenda]
The dead lift me up
In brightest sky, the clouds below me race
The dead lift me up
I see them face to face
