Karine Polwart - Better Things lyrics

rate me

So is this the best that we can do?

Oh I can think of better things - can't you?

Yes I can think of better things

That hands can make and hearts can sing

For now we deal with those for whom

A life is but a carnal tomb

In which the darkness holds no power

And neither does the final hour

We may lament the deadly art

Of tiny atoms torn apart

Of visions that we can't return

And future fires in which we fear we'll burn

Yet this is the art of those before

Who found a cure within the core

The noble mind behind the ray

That eased our earthly cares away

Is this the best...
