Hand Me Downs

Ive taken so many down
Ive helped them all to dismount
Ive followed so many down
I take their hand me downs
All with hope
All with hope
That emptiness brings fullness
And loss of love brings wholeness
All with hope
All with hope
That emptiness brings fullness
And loss of love brings wholeness
To us all
Everything that i believe
Crawls from underneath the streets
Everything i truly love
Comes from somewhere far above
Everything that i believe
Is wrong with you is wrong with me
Everything i truly love
I love in you and i love in me
So give me hope
Give me hope
That emptiness brings fullness
And loss of love brings wholeness
To us all
You swear you cant swim the river
(Ive become the beggar now)
(Youve become the saint somehow)
But i saw you running to jump in
(Ive become the beggar now)
( Youve become the saint somehow)
I swore id never be your sinner
(Ive become the beggar now)
(Youve become the saint somehow)
Til i held your sin
Hand me downs
Now you ask me why im here
The same as you
Im scared - its fear
Ive become the beggar now
And youve become the saint somehow
Twist the words and place the blame
And tell me now arent we the same
Tripping in our yellow feet
Checking underneath our sheets
For some hope
Give me hope
That emptiness brings fullness
And loss of love brings wholeness
Give me hope
Give me hope
That emptinessbrings fullness
And loss of love brings wholeness
To us all
