given

you can't hold back
what's already made it's way there
some things are set in stone
some things are flying home
and some things live
a life of their own
these are the things we learn from

your genuine nature
will shine in the end
at the start we're all afraid
whether we show it or not
in the middle we are warmer
and ready to begin
some things are unavoidable
easier giving in
easier giving in
and having what the world
has
given
given without question
without purpose
without cause
given
just because
it is
and does

you can't retrace your steps
and end up in the same place
looking back is necessary
but what's gone
cannot be had again
we plant we water we plow
we sow
until the season tells us to
start over
though it looks the same
the crop returns different again
some things are unavoidable
easier giving in
easier giving in
and having what the world
has
given
given without question
without purpose without cause
given just because
it is
and does
given just because
