All At Once

We were born without time

Nameless in the arms of a mother, a father and God

When the world would wait for us a thousand years in the crush

Of our eyes fearless in awe

Quietly we'd fade in to sleep

With nothing on our minds

Then we love to be loved

In the rush we become

Some things we thought we'd never be

We were surprised by how hard

Left weary and scared

From the nights, spent feeling incomplete

And all those evenings swearing at the sky

Wishing for more time

All the promises we broke when we tried

Just wasting all our time

We grow old all at once

And it comes like a punch

In the gut, in the back, in the face

When it seems someones lied

And our parents have died

Then we hold to each other in their place

And I feel the water rising around us

Maybe that's okay

Yeah I feel the world changing, all at once

I guess it will be okay

When we all had one hope

There was someone looking down

To return our bodies to each other

And the ground
