Whatever Light We Have Lyrics

Midnight, seven hours to go

Cumulonimbus in my frontal lobe

How do I explain this world

To my little boys and my courageous girl

I don't know

Most days, I wonder where you're at

The kids are dressed in scarlet letters

And tinfoil hats

Doubled down, content to be

Indifferent, self-sufficiently

My God, I'm waiting for the day

I lock my outrage in a cage and throw the key away

What's the point of justice

If injustice is the cost

What's the point of judging

If the jury's never wrong

And what's the point of wanting

When the giving brings my back

Keep trying to grow with whatever light you have

You asked to break bread

Well, I just prayed for you instead

All good intention

With no guts to give a damn

Who needs questions

When your love is laced with blame

Who needs answers

When your side looks all the same

Was your skin ever in the game

Does your side look all the same

It's not too late to change

What's the point of justice

If injustice is the cost

What's the point of judging

If the jury's never wrong

And what's the point of wanting

When the giving brings my back, keep trying to grow

Keep trying to grow

With whatever light we have (It's not too late)

With whatever light we have (It's not too late)

With whatever light we have (It's not too late)

Midnight, hundred miles to go

Think I see headlights on my side of the road
