[Verse 1] Grandma, this book was true, It tells what you went through. Looking back at you, I see your whole crew too. I finally found the way, To name what I can’t say: How faith and doubt still move, How heart and reason prove. [Pre-Chorus] I return to the tongue I know, To the people where I grow. In my chest, I hold the weight, Of all I am, and all my fate. [Chorus] From you, I learned the mystery, (From you, I learned) To fight and stay set free. (To stay set free) To live this life, full and whole, To find the answers in my soul. When words fail me at the edge, I hear your voice in pledge. Just look where the skies extend, And see the horizon, my dear friend. [Verse 2] Today I write your name, So all can hold your flame. At last, I understand, I held your blessed hand. So when goodbye arrives, It won’t waste our lives. The swallow flying lone Can’t make the summer on its own. [Pre-Chorus] When the day is dark and long, And your embrace is gone, I only lift my eyes, To the sun that starts to rise. [Chorus] From you, I learned the mystery, (From you, I learned) To fight and stay set free. (To stay set free) To live this life, full and whole, To find the answers in my soul. When words fail me at the edge, I hear your voice in pledge. Just look where the skies extend, And see the horizon, my dear friend. [Bridge] When I lose the road ahead, And fear the steps I tread, I remember how you walked, And learn the path you taught. If your west is bright and wide, Then let me walk there too. Happy in that infinite light, I’ll carry you. [Final Chorus] From you, I learned the mystery, (From you, I learned) To fight and stay set free. (To stay set free) To live this life, full and whole, To find the answers in my soul. When words fail me at the edge, I hear your voice in pledge. Just look where the skies extend, And see the horizon, my dear friend. From you, I learned the mystery, (To see the grace) To see the grace in misery. (In misery) The loves I left, the words unsaid, I still keep walking day by day. If I need your voice to stay, I’ll lift my eyes and say: Just look where the skies extend, And find the horizon, my dear friend.
