All That We Let In Lyrics - All That We Let In - Indigo Girls

Ooo 

Ooo 

Ooo 

Dust in our eyes our own boots kicked up 

Heartsick we nursed along the way we picked up 

You may not see it when it's sticking to your skin 

But we're better off for all that we let in 

We've lost friends and loved ones much too young 

There were so much promises and work left undone 

When all that guards us is a single centerline 

And the brutal crossing over when it's time 

Ooo 

(Well, I don't know where it all begins) 

Ooo 

(And I don't know where it all will end) 

Ooo 

(We're better off for all that we let in)

One day those toughies will be withered up and bent 

The father son, the holy warriors and the President 

With glory days of put up dukes for all the world to see 

Beaten into submission in the name of the free 

We're in a nevolution, I have heard it said 

And everyone's so busy now but do we move ahead 

The planets hurting and atoms splitting 

And a sweater for your love you sit there knitting 

Ooo 

(Well, I don't know where it all begins) 

Ooo 

(And I don't know where it all will end) 

Ooo 

(We're better off for all that we let in) 

See those crosses on the side of the road 

Tied with ribbons in the medium 

They make me grateful, I can go this far 

Lay me down and never wake me up again

Kat writes a poem and she sticks it on my truck 

We don't believe in war and we don't believe in luck 

The birds were calling to her, what were they saying 

As the gate blew open in the tops of the trees were swaying 

I've passed the cemetery, walk my dog down there 

I read the names in stone and say a silent prayer 

When I get home, you're cooking supper on the stove 

And the greatest gift of life is to know love 

Ooo 

(Well, I don't know where it all begins) 

Ooo 

(And I don't know where it all will end) 

Ooo 

(We're better off for all that we let in)
