lyrics

i sat down
on the dirt
on the ground
i found out
what it was that
held me down
and i heard a voice
up from above me
i heard a verse
singing out
that loves me

what do i do when the light gets changed
and what do i do when it stays the same
what do i do when we all lie down
what do i do when the floods come down
how should i cut my hair next time
and where do my hands go when i cry
what do i do if the tears don't come
words come out how do they sound

i drove up
to a place
lifted ground
i woke up
saw a face
with a crown
of light
that hung
softly around
of light
still left
from an hour
of awful sound

what do i do when the light gets changed
and what do i do when it stays the same
what do i do when we all lie down
and what if the ceiling all falls down
what do i do in the rubble then and
what do i do if i can't blend in
what do i do if they find me there
with my limbs all broken dirty hair

i feel a pulse
in my body
i feel a thrill
feel a body
i came down
left my shirt
on the earth
i let my skin
take the cold
take it in

what do i do when the light gets changed
and what do i do when it stays the same
what do i do when we all lie down
what do i do when the floods come down
how should i cut my hair next time
and where do my hands go when i cry
what do i do if the tears don't come
words come out how do they sound
