Body of Work

Before you get out I want you to know

You get so many lives in just this one

Sometimes you’re a roller

Sometimes you’re the stone

Sometimes you’re an avalanche in whole



But you can be wild horses on that hill

You can be wild horses

You can stop at will

And you will



Before you get out on your one way

I’ve got a ticket waiting for you under any name

You can be holy or a roller, oh anything

But whatever you choose — stay



Yesterday happened just exactly as it did

You can’t go back and undo it

You’re not a knot you’re not a dead end

Don’t ever forget

You’re a living thing



“Freedom is what you do with what

With what’s been done to you”



Before you lay down in this place

Remember you can see a blackbird

A thousand ways

You can be a soldier

You can be the snow

Under the boots of an army with miles to go



And you can be white horses on that hill

You can be white horses

You can carry heaven until



Yesterday happened just exactly as it did

You can’t go back and undo it

You’re not a knot you’re not a dead end

Don’t ever forget



You are a body of work — Edit it

You are electric — So sing it



“Freedom is what you do with what

With what’s been done to you”
