Record Tracklist

  1. Stand and Look Up -:-- / -:--

a flutter in my belly, knew right away that it had changed me
never mind i was only thirteen
the thrill and devastation, what would i do for this elation
what sacrifice, to be swept off my feet
she felt it, too; he felt it, too
you felt it, too – didn’t you?

don’t we all stand and look up when the moon crosses the sun
every one of us, taken by wonder
don’t we all lay down and cry when the night swallows the sky
you and i are made from the same light

a jolt, a snap, i stumbled
the stone foundation shook and crumbled
everything i had trusted was dust
a hole opened inside me, i fell and fell and grabbed at nothing
did not believe i would ever get up
he felt it, too; she felt it, too
you felt it, too – didn’t you?

you and i are made from the same light
the same love – the same pain – the same dream
the same light
