Light Pours in From the East Lyrics

So maybe healing is a spiral staircase

Maybe the light pours in from the east

Maybe we bask in the glow only when we come around the bend

For I've walked along shards of glass for too long only to curse my skin for breaking

So maybe the sea will ease the ache better

And sometimes, an airplane isn't a metaphor

Let's call this, an undoing of the gentlest kind

Let's call it, a cloud with no cover

A sacred vision signed into contract

Would you believe me if I said I've been here before

You see, it starts with the windows

How the dawn filters in

Soft rain and title pages sing me lullabies from Brooklyn

His skin pressed like a poem to my margins

Yes, one day I will wake up

And the wholeness will be blazing

Novels will sing my name as mother, a holy validation

For little girls deserve gods they see themselves in

And it will be beautiful

And the darkness will never come for us again

So find me where the light lives

You see, it starts with the windows
