you are still burning 
the flame that is turning 
my smoldering ash into a bird 
so stay close my brother 
I couldn't stand the loss 
you are the bridge of action 
I need you to help me cross 
I need you to help me 

so when you break 
my arms I'll take hold of you 
I know your hearts a hand that takes hold of me 

my hand that is breaking 
is the hand that is making 
all the dead things in me grow 
a gift of a holy loss 
this burning at the dross 

so when you break 
my arms I'll take hold of you 
I know your hearts a hand that takes hold of me 

why do you set out to break the one thing 
the one thing that I have to give 
its hard to believe that I could 
that I should begin again 
but I know you heart is a hand 

so when I break 
your arms you'll take hold of me 
you know my hearts a hand that takes hold of you 
so when you break 
my arms I'll take hold of you 
I know your hearts a hand that takes hold of me 
so when you break 
my arms I'll take hold of you 
I know your hearts a hand that takes hold of me
