Hands on a Hardbody - Debra Monk & Jim Newman

It starts with a spark, a breath and a moment of still A flicker, a glow, as the oxygen spills Through a delta of spindles and stone Kindled from nothing in a whisper of smoke There a gift ignites; a cursive thought takes flight And there's a dancer, twisting in between the spines Give her the breather's kiss, and watch her spirit lift She'll take over the stage, and take over the night Learning how to make a name From the words we can't keep in Learning how to strike a flame And draw her fire from nothing I don't know where to begin To make the words take shape How to nurture a flame And raise it to a blaze That on the clearest night can be seen forever I don't know where to begin, or begin again Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh It's not enough, because outside the night is still cold The fog is collect'd on the sill Feed the house to the fire to let out the light Consumed and inspired, burned magnesium white It spills from the hearth Take the curtains, the carpet To fuel the insatiable fire inside We'll set fire to a hill, so intense That it will be the brightest star on this side of the sky Learning how to make a name From the words we can't keep in Learning how to strike a flame And her draw fire from nothing I don't know where to begin To make the words take shape How to nurture a flame, and raise it to a blaze That on the clearest night can be seen forever I don't know where to begin, or begin again Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh Ah ah ah, ah, ah, ah, oh I don't know where to begin To make the words take shape How to nurture a flame, and raise it to a blaze That on the clearest night can be seen forever I don't know where to begin, begin again Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh

Happy, take me with you We'd make a great team Somebody older can teach you things Somebody older can show you how Someone who's seen it all can help you get through What you're going through now Somebody wiser who's been around Can probably send you safely on your way Listen and hear what somebody older might say Someone who'll probably be, someone a lot like me Halfway there you'd be wondering what you've got yourself into And once you got there, you wouldn't fit in Yes, I would Ah, it's a different world, Shelby You'd be ashamed me, is that it?
