Lyrics:
Welcome to the party
As you’re thrown into the light
a shadow at each side
first tears in wild eyes
If you could see the whole world
Both beautiful and terrible
Sometimes thrilling, sometimes dull
Like the sound of fresh snow

There’s sense of fear I can’t ignore
What have I brought you here for?
I hold to the breath right inside your chest
Like the rise and fall of all of everything
Sometimes I wish things were not this way
But I don’t really know a single thing
So, I’ve been trying to listen
To the word your heartbeat’s given
“There is a grace in everything “

Welcome to the party
It’s a gift just to be alive
A newness after every night
Such a strange thing to be anything
If you start to listen
There’s a song here from long ago
You can take it on the road
or let it soundtrack your home

I hold this life like an ice cream cake
Melting through my fingers on summer's day
Everything just slips by
Existence is a quick ride
A place beyond might remain
Most days I hope that’s the case
But I don’t really know a single thing
I’ve been trying to listen
Words your heartbeat’s given
There is a grace in everything

Remember,
You are so loved,
So you can always sow love
