lyrics

Brother, it’s amazing
How I’ve been missing you
And sister, we’re going crazy
And you know how I’ve been missing you too
The distances between us
May be nothing new
But it may be quite a while yet,
Before they’re through

Like atoms, we’re connected
Across the universe
One way then the other
In sympathy we turn our course
Entanglement’s a comfort
Estrangement a curse
Sometimes we need reminding
It could be worse

There’s only looking up
From the bottom of a well
We may have reached that far
At least as far as I can tell
And though the water’s rising
We float so well
The sky was mesmerizing
And then it fell

We’re all a bit like gold
Gold that’s pounded flat
But pressed to such thinness
This element can be brought back
Entropy can’t harm us
We’re just like that
If the gift of human kindness
Is still intact

A match without friction
Struggles to ignite
Potential is there for fire
But only if the moment’s right
Things are getting colder
Can you spare a light?
And I’m feeling so much older
But that’s alright

A body that’s in motion
Will stay in motion
And a body that’s at rest
Will always tend to stay at rest
Certain laws of physics, this quarantine will test
Energy is poetic
When potential turns kinetic
With love however distant,
S. Hedrick
