This is Where lyrics

The wind howls 'cross the ice floes
Send the frozen snow skimming
A river on a river hardened over
It doesn't know the way it's going
Is it North or South or Westward?
It just glides across the shoreline 'til it's over

You came for me in fast forward
On a claim for something ordered
A way through and past the history that held you
I'd tell my own story through you
Tell it loud to never lose you

A moth caught be the flame
It could cannot measure
And there we go again, wishing something bolder
Trying to push and pull inside this moment
Trying to mold this life within our hands

This is where the whole world keeps on turning

Will they measure me by branches?
Count the rings and take my ashes
Mark the ground where I fell and carry on
Or will we bite against the silence?
Fill our days with noise and violence
Not recognize our hearts when we are done

There we'll go again wishing something bolder
Trying to push and pull inside this moment
Trying to mold this life within our hands

This is where the whole world keeps on turning
This is where we come undone

We don't know where it's going
Is it North or South or Westward?
It just glides across the shoreline 'til it's over

The wind howls 'cross the ice floes
Send the frozen snow skimming
A river on a river hardened over
