Indigo Girls - Secure Yourself lyrics

Fasten up your earthly burdens, you have just begun

In the ink of the night 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 ear

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 the night 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

Amy:

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

Now we all are chosen ones

Allowed to glide right through the sun

Released from circles guarded tight

Now we all are chosen ones

Emily:

In the ink of the night I saw you bleed

Through the thunder I could hear you scream

Solid to the air I breathe

Open-eyed and fast asleep

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 earthy burdens

Now we all are chosen ones
