I trace a line with my finger Connecting the points From where I've been to where I'm going The lines connect us But eventually we all arrive at the sea And become one, so I'm not scared Floating down so many rivers You don't have to accept Everything Along with the name you've been given Without asking why Our pain now took flight We were not entrusted with these swords So that we might know the sound of sword against sword How can you protect anyone with that inconsistency? Changing form over and over You flew down before me Today I'm searching for you You don't have to try To accept everything Everyone has a sword that is their own unique self The flow changes in time You don't have to accept Everything Along with the name you've been given When you have nothing else The birds now took flight, heading into the sea breeze
