Chorus
A piece of sky
a chunk of earth
they lie and lodge in us
A piece of sky
a chunk of earth
they lie and lodge in us
Verse 1
We are star born and we’re made of dirt
who knew the new thing would be hard to learn?
and all of my muscling
is making it worse
trying to force this
is not gonna work
And I’m frustrated and dislocated
with nothing to show
and I shed answers and compost disasters
and I feel undressed saying “I don’t know”
Chorus
A piece of sky...
Verse 2
Chaos is moving and pushing us on
beyond the places we’ve already gone
crashed plans and mashed plans
by the side of the road
I’m ditching agendas
to lighten the load
And certainty and guarantees
are fading away
and to systematic theologians I am waving bye bye
and I feel OK
Chorus
A piece of sky...
