I watched queen mama carry our castle and our king
So I thought it ordinary to fly with just one wing

Now, you run your hand along my shoulder
And all I feel is lightness
Buoying my bones, feel myself grow
Lighter in our ways together
Lighter in our ways together

In my days of carrying on I never liked light things
I thought the more I carried, the more that life would bring
And it made my life so heavy, I couldn't give a thing
Like love, not really

New, to leaning back and falling open
You reached right out to let me
Know that you will hold up the heavy load
With me

Carrying the world between us marrying the world between us deepening in lightness
Marrying the world between us (lighter in our ways together)
Carrying the world between us (lighter in our ways together)
