i look around at all my friends
and what their hearts are wearing
rosaries of anti-joy
i look around at where the rainbows end
inside their jaded eyes
i know there must be more to this crazy life
but there's comfort in the light

look away from me now when you look my way again
i will not feel the same i will not feel this pain
look away from me now when you look way again
i will not feel this shame i will not feel this rain
on my skin

i look around at all this fear
and hesitation that we feel

it makes me laugh the way i
recycle each emotion i have
a million times until it passes the test
of proving i'm still blessed

look away from me now when you look my way again
i will not feel the same i will not feel this pain
look away from me now when you look way again
i will not feel this shame i will not feel this weight
of the world upon human shoulders

it's a long way it's a long road
it's a long way to get home...

i look around at all my friends
and how their hearts are breaking
underneath the weight of possibility
and it's so hard to keep your faith
when all you can see is the
pale blue ocean sky falling down
but there's wisdom underground

it's a long way it's a long road
it's a long way to get home...

look away from me now when you look my way again
i will not feel the same i will not feel this pain
i will i will i will...
live my heart
