lyrics

There’s a reason to be born
It’s the reason we grow taller
And we believe that we want more
We reach up and we go: “Taller! Taller!”

Toiling under the sun at noon
On heaven bent as we build higher
We pull away from this dark womb
As we climb toward heaven’s fire

We struggle morning, night, and afternoon
The sun’s a light, an exit to this womb
Birth to earth and womb to tomb
Underneath this Halo of Light

It’s a superficial animal
Hungry and heard pressed to go on
Ravening to reach the sky
Each of us pushing our stone

We build this ant hill taller
A tower destined to fall
Those waxen wings go higher
‘till flung from heaven they fall
And we are ants that crawl

We struggle morning, night, and afternoon
The sun’s a light, it’s an exit wound
Our towers fall and we do too
Beneath this Halo of Light

Keep on, keep on
Go on and crawl
