Pull Me Out of the White Lyrics

My whole life I held

This promise: if I waited

I’d hear the sonnet

Of my longing

My chest would heave

My spine would soften

I’ve been listening for a tide

To pull me out of the white

And into purple

Congregated, my family sings over me

You will grow to see

Deep unto deep

The fire in the earth

Is spreading to the fields

I heard it from miles and miles away

It made me quake

With love and hate

For this deep
