about

This song was birthed from a direction switch I needed in my own heart.
I want this song to remind us all that we are broken to be formed. There is hope, although perhaps that is wholly unseen at the moment. But I pray that in some way, the pieces we embody will reflect the wholeness we hope for.

lyrics

I'm returning to you. To you. I'm exerting for peace
and truth. Oh these hands, these weathered hands,
forming and moulding the dirt in the land. Oh, these
hands, these weathered hands, moving and softening
the earth. I’m returning to you. To you. I'm exerting
for peace and truth. Oh, these palms, these brazen palms,
pulling and pounding the song in my soul. Oh, these palms,
these brazen palms, rough as they cross ore' my heart.
A covering of gold so soft, a glaze so old. I'm told, a flame
by night, pressed cold. My form so tight. A line, I see in
part, where the stiff clay shatters and the world grasped
its heart. Will we find you there with hands in layers old?
Will you lift us? Our forms inlaid with gold.
