First Thread - Keith Tippett Tapestry Orchestra

Notmorgn You hate it when I leave, I wish that I could stay I wish that we could fly to somewhere far away Sometimes I'm feeling good, but never feeling great If our love is so golden, why'd it fade to grey? Still feeling like an outcast, I got some close friends But we don't even talk anymore And recently I learned that the older that I grow I care less and less than before Can't tell if I'm numb, or I'm just growing up I'm getting so good at covering it up It's like a full-time job at being in my head I'm my own boss, I got the needle and the thread I'm getting so good I'm getting so good So good, I'm getting so good I'm getting so good Feel lonely when you leave, but, girl, I gotta go I wish that we could fly out to somewhere on the coast Right now I'm feeling good, I wouldn't call it great Why am I so lonely, but lock myself away? And I hate that it got brushed off when I was just a kid It made me so sad when I was young 'Cause anxiety grew with me, it's hard to talk about it What I'm feeling when I'm 'lone Can't tell if I'm numb, or I'm just growing up I'm getting so good at covering it up It's like a full-time job at being in my head I'm my own boss, I got the needle and the thread I'm getting so good I'm getting so good So good, I'm getting so good I'm getting so good Tell me what's so good about living with the pain If I got one life, why don't I wanna feel a thing? If you love me now, I don't think you'll feel the same 'Cause the weight on my head really damaging my brain Tell me what's so good about living with the pain If I got one life, why don't I wanna feel a thing? If you love me now, I don't think you'll feel the same 'Cause the weight on my head really damaging my brain Can't tell if I'm numb, or I'm just growing up I'm getting so good at covering it up It's like a full-time job at being in my head I'm my own boss, I got the needle and the thread I'm getting so good I'm getting so good So good, I'm getting so good I'm getting so good

Find a thread to pull and we can watch it unravel Because we've been living with a ghost of summer from two years ago A hint of light in the dark But only enough to keep from giving up If I could go back to the start To break the pattern forming between us A needle dragging thread To form the chapters only we could know But they will overlap And cast a shadow on what little is left Find a thread to pull and we can watch it unravel But this is just the start We'll find out who we are A hint of light in the dark But only enough to keep from giving up If I could go back to the start To break the pattern forming between us

Maker of earth and sky And everything before our eyes Your word formed life and light Within the crucible of time The genesis of all mankind Our lives a tapestry of grace Your hand has weaved together In You no thread will ever fray This hope is ours forever Your work of art a mystery Beyond all earthly measure Your love for us a masterpiece Jesus our hope always Author of grace divine Love orchestrated in our lives The cross of Calvary The gift of God, the centerpiece Upon that cross You set us free Our lives a tapestry of grace Your hand has weaved together In You no thread will ever fray This hope is ours forever Your work of art a mystery Beyond all earthly measure Your love for us a masterpiece Jesus our hope always Lift our eyes towards the Son Glorious You stand alone Raised to life You've overcome Holy is the Lord our God (Your love is unrivaled) Lift our eyes towards the Son (Your glory spans eternity) Glorious You stand alone (Your word is final) Raised to life You've overcome (The cross of Christ our victory Every knee will bow at the name of Jesus) Holy is the Lord our God (For there is no name like the name of Jesus)

Have you seen the seven oceans? Or the snow cap of a mountain top? Or the Northern Lights set in motion? Or a heartbeat slow to a stop? Have you read a book by candlelight? Or heard a leader's call to arms? Have you ever felt my love burns so bright Like a fireball in your palms? More Than all the things that I've seen You will always be part of my tapestry More Than all the places I've been You will always be part of my tapestry Have you felt a revolution? Do you ever sit to stop and pause Just to take a little moment To see what's mine and yours? More Than all the things that I've seen You will always be part of my tapestry More Than all the places I've been You will always be part of my tapestry These aren't just lines of latitude That we made up Drawn upon a map We could be meeting with more than minds We could be woven and intertwined More Than all the things that I've seen You will always be part of my tapestry More Than all the places I've been You will always be part of my tapestry
