Kae Tempest - Grace lyrics
[Kae Tempest - Grace lyrics]
It was Grace
Stunned by the last light of the sun
We were swimming in a green sea
As deep as a drum
There are things I must record, must praise
There are things I have to say
About the fullness and the blaze
Of this beautiful life
The beloved watched the world on it's knees
With an infinite degree of separation
That was something to see
And my friend told me death is
Like taking off a tight shoe
And when I stopped looking for me
I was able to find you
Right there where everything is, transcendent
I can feel myself opening up, getting closer
No hope is enough
I've stopped hoping, I'm learning to trust
I came to under that red moon
I was completely crushed
Please use me
Please move through me
Please unscrew me
Please loosen me up
Make music with me
Make everything stop
Make noise and make silence with me
Make love
Let me be love
Let me be loving
Let me give love
Receive love and be nothing but love
In love and for love and with love
In love and for love and with love
Surrender, I do surrender
Move through me and feel me
Get out of the way
And tune into something more deep and
Reflective than what's to be achieved
Or perceived
Or affected
What's my problem?
I'm always drawn back to
That wrestling match
Ten thoughts in the ring of
My mind playing catch
I can't live for the noise in my head
I just want to dig a big ditch in the
Soil of my breath and bury my brain there
But love said
"If you bring forth what is within you
What you bring forth will save you
But if you do not bring
Forth what is within you
What you do not bring
Forth will destroy you"
It was Grace
Stunned by the last light of the sun
Swimming in a green sea as deep as a drum
There are things I must record, must praise
There are things I have to say
About the fullness and the blaze
Of this beautiful life
Of this beautiful life
Stunned by the last light of the sun
We were swimming in a green sea
As deep as a drum
There are things I must record, must praise
There are things I have to say
About the fullness and the blaze
Of this beautiful life
The beloved watched the world on it's knees
With an infinite degree of separation
That was something to see
And my friend told me death is
Like taking off a tight shoe
And when I stopped looking for me
I was able to find you
Right there where everything is, transcendent
I can feel myself opening up, getting closer
No hope is enough
I've stopped hoping, I'm learning to trust
I came to under that red moon
I was completely crushed
Please use me
Please move through me
Please unscrew me
Please loosen me up
Make music with me
Make everything stop
Make noise and make silence with me
Make love
Let me be love
Let me be loving
Let me give love
Receive love and be nothing but love
In love and for love and with love
In love and for love and with love
Surrender, I do surrender
Move through me and feel me
Get out of the way
And tune into something more deep and
Reflective than what's to be achieved

Of this beautiful life
Of this beautiful life
