Indigo Girls - All That We Let In Lyrics
Oooooooo
Oooooooo
Oooooooo
Dust in our eyes our own boots kicked up
You may not see it when it's sticking to your skin
But we're better off for all that we let in
Lost friends and loved ones much too young
So much promises and work left undone
When all that guards us is a single centerline
And the brutal crossing over when it's time
Oooooooo
(I don't know where it all begins)
(And I don't know where it all will end)
Oooooooo
(We're better off for all that we let in)
One day those toughies will be withered up and bent
The father son the holy warriors and the president
With glory days of put up dukes for all the world to see
Beaten into submission in the name of the free
We're in a nevolution I have heard it said
Everyone's so busy now but do we move ahead
The planets hurting and atoms splitting
And a sweater for your love you sit there knitting
Oooooooo
(I don't know where it all begins)
Oooooooo
(And I don't know where it all will end)
Oooooooo
(We're better off for all that we let in)
See those crosses on the side of the road
Tied with ribbons in the medium
They make me grateful I can go this far
Lay me down and never wake me up again
Kat writes a poem and she sticks it on my truck
We don't believe in war and we don't believe in luck
The birds were calling to her what were they saying
As the gate blew open the tops of the trees were swaying
I've passed the cemetery walk my dog down there
I read the names in stone and say a silent prayer
When I get home you're cooking supper on the stove
And the greatest gift of life is to know love
Oooooooo
(I don't know where it all begins)
Oooooooo
(And I don't know where it all will end)
Oooooooo
(We're better off for all that we let in)

Indigo Girls All That We Let In Comments
This song is so wistful, and I love that part about the trees swaying in the wind, with the cello. Makes me picture Christopher Robin, standing on the edge of the hundred acre wood. Makes me miss things I haven't ever lost. I love the micro of atoms splitting and the macro of planets hurling - quantum physics. In the expansive vastness of the universe, all we need is love.
Also, is it just me, or does that mechanical gauge in the illustration look Bender's face from Futurama?
I played this song this morning and started thinking about attack in Orlando. This song makes it a bit better. Love your loved ones.
Thank you, Emily and Amy, for this beautiful and profound song. The last verse chokes me up every time.
