Secure Yourself - Lyrics by Indigo Girls

Secure yourself to heaven
Hold on tight, the night has come
Fasten up your earthly burdens
You have just begun
In the ink of an eye I saw you bleed
Through the thunder I could hear you scream
Solid to the air I breathe
Open-eyed and fast asleep
Falling softly as the rain
No footsteps ringing in your ears
Ragged down worn to the skin
Warrior raging, have no fear
Secure yourself to heaven
Hold on tight, the night has come
Fasten up your earthly burdens
You have just begun
I'm kneeling down with broken prayers
Hearts and bones from days of youth
Restless with an angel's wing
I dig a grave to bury you
No feet to fall
You need no ground
Allowed to glide right through the sun
Released from circles guarded tight
Now we all are chosen ones
Secure yourself to heaven
Hold on tight, the night has come
Fasten up your earthly burdens
You have just begun
Secure yourself to heaven
Hold on tight, the night has come
Fasten up your earthly burdens
You have just begun
In the ink of an eye I saw you bleed
Through the thunder I could hear you scream
Solid to the air I breathe
Open-eyed and fast asleep
Falling softly as the rain
No footsteps ringing in your ears
Ragged down worn to the skin
Warrior raging, have no fear
Secure yourself to heaven
Hold on tight, the night has come
Fasten up your earthly burdens
You have just begun
Secure yourself to heaven(in the ink of an eye I saw you bleed)
Hold on tight, the night has come(through the thunder I could hear you scream)
Fasten up your earthly burdens(solid to the air I breathe)
You have just begun(open-eyed and fast asleep)
Secure yourself to heaven(no feet to fall, you need no ground)
Hold on tight, the night has come(allowed to glide right through the sun)
Fasten up your earthly burdens(released from circles guarded tight)
You have just begun(now we all are chosen ones)
Now we all are chosen ones(secure yourself to heaven)
Allowed to glide right through the sun(hold on tight the night has come)
Released from circles guarded tight(fasten up your earthly burdens)
Now we all are chosen ones
