Erin McKeown - Aspera lyrics

I'm in shambles
Blown to bit's by our troubles
These brambles our stumblings, our struggles

Aspera! Per aspera! Per ardua! Ad astra!

And it's a forced march
And I’m parched in denial
And it's a struggle of faith and of fire

Aspera! Per aspera! Per ardua! Ad astra!

Walking we are caught by tiny
Hooks that hold our hope
Our skin may be scratched but
Nothing holds us back
Walking we are caught by tiny
Hooks that hold our hope
Our skin may be scratched but
Nothing holds us back
I will be brave, I will be brave
My body may change
But my spirit will stay, I will be brave

Aspera! Per aspera! Per ardua! Ad astra!

I’m in shambles
Blown to bit's by our troubles
These brambles our stumblings, our struggles

Aspera! Per aspera! Per ardua! Ad astra!
Thorns! Over thorns! Through this trouble
We are born!
