Nahko Bear - Love Letters to God lyrics

[Verse 1] Give, always give what you can Even if your allies draw lines in the sand And dig, always dig a little deeper Sometimes it's hard to be my brother's keeper Love. So you let love in Baby, I am home in the wake of your skin, and it's crazy How we wear our ceremony Always be open to your path and your journey Yes, she cradles my loneliness A home in a forest nest Universal test, feel the weight of my love Put your hand on my chest And rest, in the cradle of my arms The battle that we face is the place where our scars come from And to pick up the gun My love, we are destined to teach these ones to be brave And never run away Courage is birthed from the womb on the first light of day Yeah, the day you were born, you came out perfect Never meant to be torn In silence, never been so loud in the violence Never been so proud of a people When we're fighting for a change Not afraid to lose it all despite all the rage We are animals And we cannot be caged Provoke us to fight So we burn a little sage and write poetry Wiser than the enemy will ever be The minority And authority Are you here to protect or arrest me? I can't tolerate the hate, and I'm losing sleep Can't breathe, cause they're choking out a war in me Immorality [Chorus] Love letters to God Wonder if she reads them or if they get lost In the stars, the stars, in the stars So many parts to a heavy heart If there's no beginning, then where would you start? Start, start, where would you start? [Verse 2] Human souls, so we carve 'em into story Totem poles Because we're always searching for a certain goal A pattern of physics, a role Don't believe all you're told And open Open up your fist A misconception, you can fight like this In praise, with the power of prayer If God's on our side, we can take the stairs To the heavens Flipping through my chapter seven I live with the snakes in the great deception No court, in this country for men Who steal from their mother on paper with pen And we're tripping Down a red dirt road And we're asking Is this the way we should go? Kissing, soft top feet of my goddess We walk the earth, baby, yeah we got this Focus, and it's redirected Grateful, and I'm resurrected Stubborn, but I know the way You're the skin of my drum To your rhythm I will sway Take my hand I won't lead you astray We will not go gently into the darkest of days Grandma's here, and she says persevere Take a walk in her moccs, tastes a trail of tears And our fears, are the same as they ever were Beers, numb the pain of a holocaust Gears, always mobbing in motion Maybe, baby, be an island or an ocean Your arches, how they bend and contract on my conscience Never slipped through the grip of my thesis And my theory is I shine in your presence A deliverance [Chorus] Love letters to God Wonder if she reads them or if they get lost In the stars, the stars, in the stars So many parts to a heavy heart If there's no beginning, then where would you start? Start, start, where would you start?
