lyrics

I proudly tell your stories, though I’m not sure if they’re true
But something in them guides me when I don’t know what to do

Are you witness to our sorrow? Are you witnessing this pain?
Are you with us when we pick it up and start again?

And when we come undone, unpicked line by line
Are we left in pieces by some chance, or by design?

We see lives unravel, row on row
Are you watching, do you know?
We see lives unravel strand by strand
If you’re even there, do you understand?

On the days when life seems harder, and we’re lucky just to cope
Can we pack up our misgivings and allow ourselves to hope

That you’re witnessing our sorrow, and you’re witness to this pain
And you’re with us when we pick it up and start again
