Grace & Speed - Vandaveer

I want a shoebox big enough to fill with stars

So I can tell my age from any point in space and say with certainty

That you’re only as old as you choose

As long as you spin, you really got nothing to loose

I gave a picture to an architect in June

Asked if he could build a tower big enough to poke through the atmosphere

So I could climb and wreck a time up to the moon

To see the Earth from a different point of view

Only you came along and asked why whe world’s so blue

And all I could offer up were theories I could never prove, when silence fails

We ask ourselves what good is truth if its not true

And still rolling as blue as we choose

Well, I’ll pick a planet and you can choose a star

We’ll put our points together, we can travel very far, our path is winding

We can’t rewind, but if we move with grace and speed

We’ll watch it all again from depth we’ve never dreamed

Oh, I wrote a story and I put it to a tune

And all the words were easy and the movement have it moved it really moved me

Let it move you.

I saw your tears

We may be aging but we shouldn’t count in years
