Bless The Bold Future Lyrics

[00:09.14] I want to give you everything
[00:11.48] Truth is I don't want to give you everything given to me
[00:15.65] Get in line
[00:17.09] I want to break patterns
[00:18.85] Make a new moment
[00:20.50] But how can I trust I won't fuck it all up
[00:22.88] When I keep doing things I thought I'd given up?
[00:26.48] Dear unborn child that I can't bear having
[00:30.08] Look at the state of the planet
[00:32.60] What kind of life would you have if you had it?
[00:35.33] This is a nation of pushers and addicts
[00:37.97] This is a time of great change
[00:40.46] But the habits are deeply ingrained
[00:42.66] And we don't have the strength to rip up the old fabric
[00:45.71] The illusion is heavy
[00:47.34] And it takes a maverick to stand in the crosshairs and say
[00:50.43] I won't have it
[01:03.07] I can hear you calling
[01:14.91] I see the light in the eyes of my love
[01:18.55] And I want to make life
[01:20.48] And I want to raise children
[01:22.53] How can I battle the ego that tells me to multiply, multiply
[01:26.80] Make yourself many
[01:28.36] With the wisdom that says "don't do it"
[01:31.67] Much braver to get yourself ready for a strange life
[01:34.61] That will be distant and heavy sometimes
[01:37.79] Bring a child into chaos like this?
[01:40.28] Bring a child into danger like this?
[01:42.99] The whole world is a factory floor
[01:44.82] Isn't actually real, is a massive distortion
[01:47.81] Place like this
[01:49.03] Just makes you want to let go fast and keep falling
[01:51.79] I can hear you calling
[01:53.26] But I love you too much to not give you fair warning
[01:57.63] If you want to be here, fine
[02:00.04] I will wash myself in the waters
[02:02.55] And make myself pure for you
[02:04.60] I will do what a human is born to do
[02:07.82] Lay my life down to make sure home is warm for you
[02:14.25] We lie in the long grass
[02:16.31] Talk in a whisper
[02:18.75] Nothing but birdsong
[02:20.53] Nothing but love
[02:22.58] Nothing but certainty
[02:24.82] Bless the bold future
[02:27.24] Bless the bold future
[02:29.42] Bless the wild creature
[02:31.63] If ever you open your eyes
[02:34.02] I will be there
[02:43.84] I can hear you calling
[02:52.18] But I love you too much to not give you fair warning
[03:26.51] Love you too much (Too much)
[03:31.48] Love you too much (Too much, too much)
[03:35.79]
