Xavier Rudd

Letter

(I) I sit by my window with everything I've done

Doors that I've opened and webs that I've spun

And the candle besides me burns to the left

And the rain on the clay sends the lizard to it's nest

And there will be a time, that I hold you again

With my arms spread out, just you'll rest

And I'll write you a letter with everything I know

About the weight of the world and the way things could go

So live up my friend, step back again

For some things will be given, for some you'll have to bend

You'll have to bend my friend, to hold on to this

For some things will come easy, and some will be a test

You'll have to bend.

Now the ocean connects me to everything I know

By mellowing my mind soon my heart, it can call

With these trees as my witness I'll slice up some fruit

And each to their peaceful good intentions and truths

There will be a time, when I will hold you again

with my arms spread out, I would dive right in... soon I'll

Here is your letter, with everything I know

About the weight of the world and the way things could go

So give up my friend, step back again

For some things will be given, for some you'll have to bend

you'll have to bend my friend, to hold on to this

For some things will come easy, and some will be a test

You'll have to bend.

Now the ocean connects me to everything I know

By mellowing my mind soon my heart, it can call

With these trees as my witness I'll slice up some fruit

And each to their peaceful good intentions and truths

There will be a time, when I will hold you again

with my arms spread out, I will dive right in

So now here's your letter, with everything I know

about the weight of the world and the way things could go
