Salt Song - How to Dress Well.mp3

[00:15.51]I want to learn to care for my soul
[00:19.29]Like I wish you’d cared for my soul
[00:22.42]To feel my heart is my home
[00:26.96]Something to call my own
[00:29.59]I want to fill my house with light
[00:34.24]With flowers and things that grow
[00:36.70]And feel at home before I go
[00:41.35]
[00:43.93]But if happiness were safe
[00:48.09]Wouldn’t be so hard to find my own
[00:50.92]Everything I’ve heard them say
[00:55.63]This danger justifies my hope
[00:58.20]If I saw myself inside a dream
[01:02.41]Would I recognize me as my own?
[01:05.42]Now every song that I sing
[01:09.57]Just feel at home before I go
[01:12.41]
[01:13.89]True love’s never hurtful, this you know
[01:20.49]And time alone won’t ever heal your pain, you know
[01:27.65]Boy, if time will never set you free
[01:31.02]They won’t see unless you choose to show
[01:34.32]Who can you show if you’re all alone?
[01:40.93]And all your love's so ready to be seen and received
[01:45.07]You just don't believe you don’t deserve to grow
[01:48.24]Who you’ve been won’t guarantee just who you could be
[01:52.36]What’s the future hold? Someday we’ll know
[01:55.39]
[01:55.75]But if happiness were safe
[01:59.89]I wonder if I’d sing this song
[02:03.17]An exchange of trust and grace
[02:07.29]To feel at home before I go
[02:09.70]
[02:23.78]Last night I dreamed that I was older
[02:25.97]And the room was filled with flowers
[02:27.66]And I opened up the door
[02:29.28]And found myself there as a toddler
[02:31.15]
[02:31.31]I said, "Hey Tom you’re ok, in here you can feel no pain
[02:34.75]Yeah, we have the same name, you’re just a little bit smaller"
[02:38.99]The boy laughed and he said to me
[02:40.99]"This is the feeling of real human dignity"
[02:46.35]When I woke up I felt my face expecting tears
[02:50.55]
[02:52.79]And if happiness were safe
[02:57.08]I wonder if I’d sing this song
[02:59.98]But as I touched my face
[03:04.21]Felt so alive and felt so strong
[03:07.09]That little me in my dream
[03:11.34]What he meant, not sure I’ll ever know
[03:14.27]But with everything that I sing
[03:18.51]I wanna honor him and help him grow
[03:21.40]
[03:21.74]Until happiness is safe
[03:25.70]This is how I sing his song
[03:28.93]Every single day
[03:33.00]Sing for a heart to call my own
[03:35.89]And every night when I sleep
[03:40.09]Danger, I won’t wake no more
[03:43.29]And leave this earthly scene
[03:47.30]Before I find a heart to call my own
[03:50.00]
[03:51.01]Before I find a heart to call my own
[03:54.23]Before I find a heart to call my own
[03:57.84]Before I find a heart to call my own
[04:02.38]Before I find a heart to call my own
[04:05.03]
