The Poets Cry For More Lyrics - How We Both Wondrously Perish - Being As An Ocean

We are all homeless in one way or another 

Whether we've lost ourselves to lust 

Inflamed passions for things desired; forgotten the other 

Wandering aimlessly, in love with something 

that will only collect dust 

Or perhaps we've been led into the wilderness 

by some radiant lover, just to be left out in the cold 

A distant memory, and the warmth of home 

What are we then to do? 

'Cause in the heat of bliss, we swore we would never love another 

There was truth and dignity in that oath 

Can there be any hope for their retention, in its breaking? 

That even while being disavowed, we recognize humanity 

We have all made mistakes, 

And G-d, I've made mistakes 

But my mistakes haven't made me

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

Oh fallen acorn, lost and alone 

Can you still be kissed by fire, give up your seed 

And spring up into a towering, mighty oak? 

We've been led into the wilderness 

by some radiant lover, just to be left in the cold 

A distant memory, the warmth of home 

'Cause in the heat of bliss, we swore we would never love another 

We've all made mistakes, every last one of us 

And just because we've told a lie, can we not still grow to be honest? 

Oh fallen acorn, lost and alone 

Can you still be kissed by fire, give up your seed 

And spring up into a towering, mighty oak?

Thrown off kilter 

None of us would have thought 

We'd be who we are now 

When we were still little 

Eyes wide to possibility 

Who could have known 

That we'd witness such depravity
