Thirty Years Lyrics

An awkward tension greets me

From a life I lead everyday

When I'm no mother desiccates me

I get my vest anyway

Three decades later finds me

Back where I started from

Staring at the familiar dust

Tread carefully with love

Number my days because I climb with aching hands

Towards the heavens just to find it was here to begin with

My ambitions and my fears

My lovers and amnesias

My hopes attached to the ground

I built kingdoms with my hands

And I crushed souls with my words

But my heart beats to love

Give me grace

God forbid

Please don't take this grace away

Number my days because I climb with aching hands

Towards the heavens just to find it was here to begin with

I'll climb to the heavens

And I'll find it was here to begin with
