Tucked in like I'm sleeping
Hold tight to my dreaming
The future barks like a dog outside
I'm pretending I don't hear it
The good day's always leaving
See the wrinkles around my parents eyes deepen
Been awhile since I've seen 'em
Kinda woke me up

Every shadow of change
When it's good, when it's painful
All that is
All that has been
Every dagger of grace
Is a gift, I am grateful
All that is
I say thank you

A billion eyes that are wakin'
A billion hearts that are breakin'
Feel the poison in my own blood
Every night I try to face it
Every mountain try to face it
Every failure try to face it
Feel the poison in my own blood, but
I know the fever breaks

Every shadow of change
When it's good, when it's painful
All that is
All that has been
Every dagger of grace
Is a gift, I am grateful
All that is
I say thank you

Can't count on the timing
Can't plan on arriving
Feel the balance in soil
And in the wind while I'm driving
Time moves like a river
Each breath I'm reminded
To reach heavy in the silence
Till the whistle cries
