The Clearing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Fear doesn’t live inside the blind
Let go
And step into the clearing mind and soul
This kind of love don’t need a home
This kind a heart beats all alone
This kind of world, gonna let it go
Lay down the things that came before
Firelight creates families
Believe
Shadows become giants in the trees
This kind of love don’t need a home
This kind a heart beats all alone
This kind of world, gonna let it go
Lay down the things that came before
The sky is dark enough to swallow you
A storm
Violence the least of all it’s forms
This kind of love don’t need a home
This kind a heart beats all alone
This kind of world, gonna let it go
Lay down the things that came before
