lyrics

Sing a song to the dust
Sing a song to the dust
Sing a song that you hope will be enough
Sing a song to the dust

When we were young and the summers bled to one
Every road led to an ocean in the sun
Every smile was like a breeze upon the sea
Every door would take us where we want to be
We want to be

Sing a song to the dust
Sing a song to the dust
Sing a song that you hope will be enough
Sing a song to the dust

Lessons came that they said we had to learn
The shape of tears and how much a heart can burn
And when we finally moved away from the shore
Well no-one told us that the map is ours to draw
It's ours to draw

Sing a song to the dust
Sing a song to the dust
Sing a song that you hope will be enough
Sing a song to the dust

Every breath we turn into a stepping stone
Cut through the years like we have some place to go
Oh can we carry more than all that we have lost
And make our life a song and sing it to the dust
To the dust

Sing a song to the dust
Sing a song to the dust
Sing a song that you hope will be enough
Sing a song to the dust
