Lyrics
Words and music: amy ray
I've taken so many down I've helped them all to dismount I've followed so many down I take their hand me downs
All with hope all with hope That emptiness brings fullness And loss of love brings wholeness To us all
Everything that I believe crawls from underneath the streets And everything I truly love comes from soemwhere far above Everything that I believe is wrong with you is wrong with me Everything I truly love I love in you and I love in me
All with hope all with hope That emptiness brings fullness And loss of love brings wholeness All the hope all the hope That emptiness brings fullness And loss of love brings wholeness To us all
Amy: You swear you can't swim the river But I saw you running to jump in I swore I'd never be your sinner Till I held your sin emily: I've become the beggar now, you've become the saint somehow I've become the beggar now, you've become the saint somehow I've become the beggar now, you've become the saint somehow
Hand me downs
Now you ask me why I'm here The same as you I'm scared--it's fear I've become the beggar now and you've become the saint somehow Twist the words and place the blame tell me aren't we the same Tripping in our yellow feet checking underneath our sheets
All with hope all with hope That emptiness brings fullness And loss of love brings wholeness All with hope all with hope That emptiness brings fullness And loss of love brings wholeness
