My Resolve

My Resolve - Bruce Hornsby/James Mercer

Ash plumes rise

In electrified skies

Incandescent light

Oh with flash bolt eyes

And no one knows why

I've been drawn to this lie

I'm down when they're high

On a survival line

In my resolve I moved a lot

Maybe fall down trying

My ineptitude stares me down

In this space I cower

And I try to stand above the frame

Stand apart not by it

And I move on up above the hill

To maybe fully flower

I flower

Reach for the heights

And then throw on to the depths

I look for someone wise

With a soft caress

Will I find myself alone

Repeating numbing ties

You could help roll it up

'Cause I got no backup plan

Oh in my resolve I moved a lot

Maybe fall down trying

My ineptitude stares me down

In this space I cower

I try to stand above the frame

Stand apart not by it

And I move on up above the hill

To maybe fully flower

Ooh I flower

Move on up and I roll back down

Grandpa's book no one hears my sound

Upward downward for so long

In my resolve I climb and climb and I fall

In my resolve I moved a lot

Maybe fall down trying

My ineptitude stares me down

In this space I cower

And I try to stand above the frame

Stand apart not by it

And I move on up above the hill

To maybe fully flower

Ash plumes rise

In an electrified sky

Incandescent light

With flash bolt eyes

On a survival line
