lyrics

I don't know if I have much fight left in me
All escape routes seem closed to me
If there's a way out it's through
A door that I can't find
I don't know how much fight I have left

I don't know how much life will be left to us
All the sacred earth is laid waste for us
There is a place to live but
It's only in my mind
I don't know how much life we have left

There must be a way to find hope for you
I want to believe this world will take care of you
The smallest break a brief glimpse
In the eyes of a child
There must be a way to find hope

Is there some forgiveness left for us
What right do we have to the way prepared for us
In awe of what we've made
We laugh into the wind
I don't know if there's forgiveness left

But will we try
Will we try
Can we walk away
And leave this shit behind
To the woods, to the land
Run screaming but hand in hand
Muster the strength we need
To deal out one more blow
Will we try

about

wild okra Waco, Texas

"...a darkly mood, palpable sadness, deadpan stare, bared nerves, but all with an underlying layer of hopefulness, or at least a hope that being hopeful is possible. And some beautiful harmonies to coax the hope out of its cave." - Monte Holman
