I am holding half an acre
Torn from the map of Michigan
And folded in this scrap of paper
Is the land I grew in
Think of every town you've lived in
Every room you lay your head
And what is it that you remember
Do you carry every sadness with you
Every hour your heart was broken
Every night the fear and darkness
Lay down with you
A man is walking on the highway
A woman stares out at the sea
And light is only now just breaking
So we carry every sadness with us
Every hour our hearts were broken
Every night the fear and darkness
Lay down with us
But I am holding half an acre
Torn from the map of Michigan
I am carrying this scrap of paper
That can crack the darkest sky wide open
Every burden taken from me
Every night my heart unfolding
(Dan Messe) I am holding half an acre Torn from the map of Michigan And folded in this scrap of paper Is the land I grew in Think of every town you've lived in Every room you lay your head And what is it that you remember Do you carry every sadness with you Every hour your heart was broken Every night the fear and darkness Lay down with you A man is walking on the highway A woman stares out at the sea And light is only now just breaking So we carry every sadness with us Every hour our hearts were broken Every night the fear and darkness Lay down with us But I am holding half an acre Torn from the map of Michigan I am carrying this scrap of paper That can crack the darkest sky wide open Every burden taken from me Every night my heart unfolding Explain Request ×
