I am one day older than my father was, than he ever got to be I was 10 years old when I grew up, cause he died at 53 I stared across the great divide, at my mother who was left The dinner table stretched oceans wide, like the hollow in our chests I never asked hard questions, I thought they'd cause more pain I hadn't yet learned life's holiest lesson: "That what is broken cannot heal Until it's known and loved by name" So tell me your story, I'll tell you mine You don't need to worry, everything's already alright You'll be the universe, nothing to hide Anywhere you ever need to go, I can carry us home I was taught to bury with the dead the presence of my grief I see it now, but didn't then, that silence is a thief It made strangers out of friends Rocked me saving graces offered in unlikely places I thought I could outrun it in the end When a shattered heart is desperate, the only respite is to let somebody in Tell me your story, I'll tell you mine You don't need to worry, everything's already alright You'll be the universe, nothing to hide Anywhere you ever need to go, I can carry us home I can carry us home, I can carry us home When I speak his name, my voice gives out Even after all these years But I want my son to know me now So my son will see my tears My son will see my tears
