Beautiful life, spent in the service of others
You answered the call
You know you did it all out of love
For your sisters and brothers
What were these voices in your head?
And what exactly was it that they said?
Did they not mention that the road of good intention is paved with mirrors?
And you grow dizzy with reflection
We don't need another statue
Who can weather any storm
You showed us all how one can stand so tall
Now heed the call
And teach us how to fall
Beautiful sun that loves to burn
Give you light away, ask for nothing in return
Not like this love that loves to need
Make me dream up loneliness,
Make me dream up greed
Invent some mountain I can stand on
Then expect someone to land on
Slow to climb when you're so scared to fall
Why can't I love like nothing?
Nothing at all
Because nothing lost is nothing won
Nothing ending is nothing begun
Love clear as water and you can still drown
But love like nothing can stick around
Show you the way down
Let you down help you down
Let you down help you down
Help you down let you down
Beautiful sun go on and burn
Give us all you light, what could we return?
Burn up these towers that stand so tall
Leave us to nothing and nowhere to fall
Sunshine today
Sunshine today
