Echoic

from The Fool by Jake Hull

lyrics

Guide me
For I cannot see anything but stars
I stagger at the sight
A field of distant giants
Shine defiant, shine on
To break the spell of night
They echo on, they echo
They echo on forever

What we don't see keeps us all
Open-eyed, wide-eyed we gaze
Up to what we cannot know
What we don't see keeps us all
Pressing our palms closed we pray
Up to what we cannot know

Mmmmm

Child, does it hurt to see it all?
Open-eyed, wide-eyed you gaze
At the pain, our tragedy
I know it hurts to see it all
Pressing our palms closed we'll pray
That the light will reach us somehow

Mmmmm

And in the years that pass as time runs on
And leaves my body deep in the ground
Even from far away I'll blaze with light and be
Part of a greater
Part of a whole
Part of a calm I can't describe
Ah ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah ahhhhhh

And I'll burn
'til there's no sorrow to chase away
The echoes of all the light that I've shed
Will never fade

And in the years that pass as time runs on
And leaves my body deep in the ground
Even from far away I'll blaze with light and be
Part of a greater
Part of a whole
Part of a calm I can't describe
Ah ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah ahhhhhh
And in the years that pass as time runs on
And leaves my body deep in the ground
Even from far away I'll blaze with light and be
Part of a greater
Part of a whole
Part of a calm I can't describe
Ah ah ahh ah ah ahh ah ah ah ahhhhhh
