lyrics

The Minute's Excite


“Take your hand and trace the lines”, I said
“Follow the cracks to see where our future is being led”
Because sometimes it feels like this body knows more than my head
Maybe now is the time to trust these feet instead
Time to just start walking without another word being said

It seems like we lead a long and ragged life
The wrinkles accounting for every single sore, scrape, bruise, break, pain and strife
But now the sun hits your skin and I can see nothing but light
The glare all around brightening every single thing in sight
The seconds exist, but the minutes. . . the minutes excite!

Because these are our bones, that have been broken long, I’m amazed they have kept working since the day their struggle proved too strong
So touch your hands to mine, as in this moment we’ll find there’s nothing more divine then knowing we’ll keep moving forward to the light

There is no way we can help but grow so now I know everything will turn out right
The seconds exist, but the minutes. . . the minutes excite!
