“Before Love’s Arrival” – Brody Bond // Richmond, VA (7/3/22)
LYRICS
I didn’t choose my way onto this path
None of us choose what hurts so bad
Forward is a trick of retrospect
Whatever got me here will get me back
Oh…
I didn’t know the scars could be so cruel
If this is the narrow door, I’ll still go through
I won’t blame me for my defenses
And you won’t shame me for my intentions
// chorus //
I didn’t see
I was me
Before this survival
And now, now I can speak
Clear and free
Before love’s arrival
Oh…
-- bridge --
I didn’t greet
The wilderness consciously
I didn’t breathe
I didn’t breathe
No, but I didn’t receive
A spirit of worry
Without a death, there’s no resurrection
// chorus //
Oh…
