The Way It Goes or, The Epic YES! of My Mother

Ultimately there’s no other choice than to live into the edge where grief and pain enslice with joy and wonder. She taught me that.

We didn’t know how to play
Raising ourselves on our own
But these doors, they didn’t get there by themselves
And I know it’s late
And you’re tired as the day is long

That’s the way it goes
This is the way we do
There’s a way back to You…

tall early autumn trees tower into very blue sky

our Queendom come
our will be done
so it must be
‘till the battle is won

let this moon shine down
let this lost be found
let the blood of our wombs
be shed into the ground

our Queendom come (so it must be)
our will be done (so it must be)
so it must be (so it must be)
‘till the game is won

let this moon shine down
let this LOVE be found
let the blood of our wombs
flow into the ground

Rock that heart alive
Rock this soul awake
Nod your head once, twice, forever
For everyone’s sake

Take us from grey to glory
All our colors on display
Air to breathe, ground to break, hearts to heal
Never concealed again

That’s the way it goes
This is the way we do
There’s a way back to You

That’s the way it goes
This is the way we do
There’s a way, all the way back to
You
