and if I fall
into you all
will my rain
cease and dissolve?
some come to harm
others to grace
so let my friends fly
under these wings

we’re giving it up to the sun
we’re giving it up to the moon
we’re giving it up to the earth
we’re giving it up from our own

knowin’ there’s nowhere to run
knowin’ there’s not much to lose
sometimes it seems so long
since you had a chance to refuse

we built a fire
winterlong
transformed new wire
winterlong
i was the first one
i was the last one to be strong

and if I fall
into you all
will the silence
shatter and stall?
some feel movement
others stand still
so let the moment
become my will

we’re giving it up to the sun
we’re giving it up to the moon
we’re giving it up to the earth
we’re giving it up from our owns

knowin’ there’s nowhere to run
knowin’ there’s not much to lose
so why does it take so long
to find out who is who

we built a fire
winterlong
transformed new wire
winterlong
i was the first one
i was the last one to be strong

we’re giving it up to the sun
we’re giving it up to the moon
we’re giving it up to the earth
we’re giving it up from your own

we’re giving it up to the sun
we’re giving it up to the moon
