Hand
Me Downs - Amy Ray
I've taken
so many down, I've helped them all to dismount.
I've followed so many down,
I take their hand me downs.
All with hope, all with hope
that
Emptiness brings fullness
and
Loss of love brings wholeness
to us all.
Everything that I believe
crawls from underneath the streets.
Everything I truly love comes
from somewhere high above.
Everything that I believe
is wrong with you is wrong with me.
Everything I truly love I
love in you and I love in me.
So give me hope, give me hope
that
Emptiness brings fullness
and
Loss of love brings wholeness
to us all.
Swear you can't swim the river,
I saw you running to jump
in.
I swore I would never be your
sinner,
Until I held your sin.
Now you ask me why I'm here.
The same as you, I'm scared
- it's fear.
I've become the beggar now,
you've become the saint somehow.
Twist the words and place
the blame. Tell me now aren't we the same?
Tripping in our yellow feet,
checking underneath our sheets,
For some hope, give me hope
that
Emptiness brings fullness
and
Loss of love brings wholeness
to us all.
