It's not a song of anything But maybe it can help. It's not about hope, or pressing on You wouldn't want to hear that anyway
It's not a mile I'd walk in your shoes A poet's hope can't sustain you And the miles I'd go, they can't tell you so When you have to walk them anyway
Because you're fighting the fight that's fighting you Why would you want to press on with that? You're fighting the fight that's finished you When this is all you ever wanted to be
So don't be who you are Look in the eyes of the healing Don't be who you dreamed you'd be Just look in their eyes and start healing
I know this is hard for you to hear That healing isn't about you But you'll only miss what's next to you When the mirror is all you see
So let the angels wrap you In their staying, and passing And let them take your eyes away From the one who lets you down
Because you're fighting the fight that's fighting you Why would you want to press on with that? You're fighting the fight that's finished you When this is all you ever wanted to be
So don't be who you are Look in the eyes of the healing Don't be who you dreamed you'd be Just look in their eyes and start healing
If you think there's no good In the life that's all around you If you think there's no peace In the moment the sun comes up
Change your eyes, child Keep looking outside of you She's still there for you Waiting to hold your heart
