All That We Let In - Indigo Girls[00:00:00]
Dust in our eyes our own boots kicked up[00:00:36]
Heartsick we nursed along the way we picked up[00:00:41]
You may not see it when it's sticking to your skin[00:00:47]
But we're better off for all that we let in[00:00:52]
Lost friends and loved ones much too young[00:00:58]
So much promises and work left undone[00:01:04]
When all that guards us is a single centerline[00:01:10]
And the brutal crossing over when it's time[00:01:15]
I don't know where it all begins[00:01:20]
And I don't know where it all will end[00:01:26]
We're better off for all that we let in[00:01:33]
One day those toughies will be withered up and bent[00:01:38]
The father son the holy warriors and the president[00:01:44]
With glory days of put up dukes for all the world to see[00:01:49]
Beaten into submission in the name of the free[00:01:55]
We're in a nevolution I have heard it said[00:02:01]
Everyone's so busy now but do we move ahead[00:02:06]
The planets hurting and atoms splitting[00:02:13]
And a sweater for your love you sit there knitting[00:02:18]
I don't know where it all begins[00:02:24]
And I don't know where it all will end[00:02:29]
We're better off for all that we let in[00:02:36]
See those crosses on the side of the road[00:02:40]
Tied with ribbons in the medium[00:02:46]
They make me grateful I can go this far[00:02:51]
Lay me down and never wake me up again[00:02:57]
Kat writes a poem and she sticks it on my truck[00:03:04]
We don't believe in war and we don't believe in luck[00:03:09]
The birds were calling to her what were they saying[00:03:15]
As the gate blew open the tops of the trees were swaying[00:03:20]
I've passed the cemetery walk my dog down there[00:03:50]
I read the names in stone and say a silent prayer[00:03:55]
When I get home you're cooking supper on the stove[00:04:01]
And the greatest gift of life is to know love[00:04:06]
I don't know where it all begins[00:04:11]
And I don't know where it all will end[00:04:18]
We're better off for all that we let in[00:04:24]
