how will we survive

how will we love under this new moon

how will we die without each other

how will we breathe

how will we sound

 

how will we find a way in this dark 

hope for a star

for a firefly

hope for a soft even path

for we are blind

 

we are the seekers

we are the driven

we are the omen

we are the sun on the morning sea

 

what color is that?

no one has ever seen it

our answer is in

that shine, that light

in all those hearts that will cry, too

when they see that blue

and who are all blind, too

and who are in us

how will we speak

how will we shine

how will we survive

 

​

how do we tell the story

how do we find a word

or a song or a reason

for what walks within us now

for what walks everywhere within us now 

for what must live on

for what walks everywhere with us now 

for what must live on

​

​

how did you come here to me

holding everything I want

carrying all the love I need

bringing sunshine

from a mountain top

​

I have known you before

know you like a mirror

know you like tomorrow

find my way down to your riverbed
