Bliss

My father said
“Get out there and look around
Get out of your head and be glad for the ground
Cause you never know, you never know, you never know what’s coming”
He said “I raised you to think critically
I raised you to smile while you bleed
I raised you to be someone, to be something”

He said
“Hold on to this
Past all your fears you will find bliss”

My mother said
“Hey son, when you coming home?
And can you call me more when you’re gone?
Cause you never know, you never know, you never know just what’s coming”
She said “When you were born and you looked at me
Well we had to go and get out of that city
We’re runaways babe, runaways to the sea”

She taught me this
Past all your fears you will find bliss

Bliss
Bliss

Well I just walk and the farther I go
Footprints I leave ain’t mind no more, no
Stepping, stepping, stepping with a changing shadow
I just walk and hope I’m getting close
Catching up with all the ghosts
I’d like to get to know

So I hold on to this
Past all your fears you will find bliss
