Bramble Hill

By Jeff Rolfzen & Rocky Steen-Rolfzen

We dove into a pool of dreams

We left our hearts on golden strings

Lost our minds in the diamond streams

We touched everything then left nothing

Now everything I know is taking control of me

And everything I own is taunting and troubling me

And since all I can be is all that I’ll be

Then I’ll pack up my back and call on my old bones to carry me to

A place for changing

Cuz the snow falls so deep here

At the start of the Spring here

We all wait till June for changing

And healing

Though nothing’s ever set in stone

When you wander through this world alone

You’ll feel as heavy as your bag of bones

If you fail to call the whole world home

Now everything I’ve seen is painting its song in me

And everything I sing is exciting and yet startling me

And since all that I’ll be is all that I’ll be

And I’ll pack up my back and call on my old bones to carry me to

A place for changing

Cuz the road to nowhere left me caught up in air

Now I have the whole plain for changing

And healing

There’s a water well on Bramble Hill

The water tastes the way you feel

With the water watching we did see

That we’ve been a part of everything

With everything shaking gosh darn I’m shaking too

But something is waking as the dawn of the dusk breaks on through

Now we’re out fear we were wallowing in

Trying to let the new life in oh here in this place

For changing
