You are the 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 will take hold of you I know your heart is 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 will take hold of you I know your heart is 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 your heart is a hand         So when I break your arms you’ll take hold of me You know my heart is a hand that takes hold of you So when you break my arms I’ll take hold of you   I know your heart is a hand that takes hold of me
