Now is the time for my child to cry  
Though it wasn’t a part of my schedule  
Exhuming her bones, didn’t she die?  
Those long haunting days of abandon  

Peppered with sunshine and neighborhood cats  
Woven with words like “I love you”  
Holding confusion like ink on a shirt I still wear,  
She’s still there  

Now is the time to break what was broken  
Step back, and see all the pieces  
Connect the dots, she didn’t try  
Safety requires Disney vision  

Peppered with sunshine and neighborhood cats  
Woven with words like “I love you”  
Holding the sorrow down dragging the hem on the ground   
I fall down  

And from here, it’s clear  
There’s so much more to the story  
I hear you cry  
And this time I’ll answer and hold you  
It’s time to hear you and hold you  
Clear off the desk, and turn off the phone, and feel so alone  

It’s time to cry  
Time to cry  

[piano lead]  

She is me and we both see  
What you did, what was done  
Weaving a tapestry that won’t make sense  
‘Til I pull it all out in the sun…  

...shine and neighborhood cats  
Woven with words like “I love you”  
Holding it all like the sun shines while clouds release rain, 

It’s okay  

‘Cause from here, it’s clear  
There’s so much more to the story  
I hear you cry  
And this time I’ll answer and hold you  

It’s time to hear you and hold you  
Clear off the desk, and turn off the phone, and feel so alone 

It’s time to cry   
I hear you cry
