Parallels

To fill the holes
To patch up tears in our emotions
To trust in faith containing no deliberation

Don't drink the water
Don't just rely on what you've heard
Further the way to understand these parallels
Hold fast to your heart
Hold fast to what you know and love
Whatever reminds you that your alive and ok

Through hands of time
Through the spirits of our elders
Through anyone who'd welcome all our imperfections

Don't drink the water
Don't just rely on what you've heard
Further the way to understand these parallels
Hold fast to your heart
Hold fast to what you know and love
Whatever reminds you that your alive and ok

When it starts to take a hold
Question all that you know
Open all the windows
When it starts to cave in

It's what brings you to your knees
It's what haunts you in your sleep
It brings meaning to your life
It brings life into your soul
You are not the highest priest
You are not a messenger
You are not the hand of God
You are not the chosen one

Don't drink the water
Don't just rely on what you've heard
Further the way to understand these parallels
Hold fast to your heart
Hold fast to what you know and love
Whatever reminds you that your alive and ok

Every mans' day will come
Stand until we fall
Every mans' day will come
Stand until we fall
