And over I start
To open the heart
And find what I can
In this small eternity

To bathe in the dark
And cry in the light
To batter and nurture the body
To jump and to break down in pieces

I know that we don't have a plan
Just old banners and make believe
But this is our side
And nothing is still
And time will be all that we'll need

To tear down the walls
And open the gates
And welcome you
And welcome me

I know there are flowers and birds
I'm just beginning to see
Yesterday's boys
And girls yet to be
That borrow their stardust
They borrow their stardust to me

We're starting a fire
A bird and a flower
We're starting now
A fire like a flower

And over I start
To open the heart
And find what I can
In this small eternity
