The unexamined contents, for all of the luggage I carry Past wars, and these words were said on battlegrounds I’m in your blood, I’m in your heart and I’m in your bones – Keep my strength pumping through and never let go – I’m in your bones and in your eyes, Seeing the world broken…

When I was younger, I thought I understood the truth about love But getting older, I’ve learned it’s tough When you show up, You remind me of what I thought Was meant to be But getting older I’ve felt time go I’d go the world to show you What I mean When I say You…
