lyrics

i noticed that strong love
is having the courage to sit
with someone who's freaking out
and try not to teach or change them
i noticed that change
is a pilgrimage of failures
where you're given consent
to be a complex person

how's your ambivalence
can you hold opposites?

i noticed that doing good
is being perfectly fallible
instead of defending
an imaginary sainthood
i noticed that when you put
people on some sort of pedestal
you make a human shield
or at best a hostage
of them

how's your ambivalence
can you hold opposites?

what is the light that
you are growing towards?
you have to tend to what you can touch
in your part of the garden
because i can't heal myself
out of a place of spite
or contempt
i have to let my guard down
to become a change agent

if i can't be wrong
i am become as sounding brass
or a clanging gong
