Bless The Bold Future

I want to give you everything

Truth is

I don’t want to give you everything given to me

Get in line

I want to break patterns

Make a new moment

But how can I trust I won't fuck it all up?

When I keep doing things I thought I’d given up

Dear unborn child that I can’t bear having

Look at state of the planet

What kind of life would you have if you had it?

This is a nation of pushers and addicts

This is a time of great change

But the habits are deeply ingrained

And we don’t have the strength to rip up the old fabric

The illusion is heavy

And it takes a maverick to stand in the cross hairs and say I won't have it

I can hear you calling

I see the light in the eyes of my love

And I want to make life

And I want to raise children

How can I battle the ego that tells me to multiply, multiply, make yourself many?

But the wisdom that says, don't do it

Much braver to get yourself ready for a strange life that will be distant and heavy sometimes

Bring a child into chaos like this

Bring a child into danger like this

The whole world is a factory floor

Isn't actually real, is a massive distortion

Place like this just makes you want to let go fast and keep falling

I can hear you calling

But I love you too much to not give you fair warning

If you want to be here, fine

I will wash myself in the waters and make myself pure for you

I will do what a human is born to do

Lay my life down to make sure home is warm for you

We lie in the long grass

Talk in a whisper

Nothing but birdsong

Nothing but love

Nothing but certainty

Bless the bold future

Bless the bold future

Bless the wild creature

If ever you open your eyes I will be here

I can hear you calling

But I love you too much to not give you fair warning

Love you too much

Love you too much
