about

"Though omnipotence may seem to be endangered by the threshold passages and life awakenings, protective power is always and ever present within the sanctuary of the heart and even immanent within, or just behind, the unfamiliar features of the world. One has only to know and trust, and the ageless guardians will appear." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero With A Thousand Faces

lyrics

so take it as a comfort
take it as a gift
how many feet have walked these paths before you
to learn the lessons they now offer for you
you thought that you were different
thought it was just you
you thought the journey was a special glory
but we're all heroes in our own life story

(chorus)
wait now
don't leave me yet
you don't have to do it alone
every time you think it's the end
just when you think your chance is through
somebody else will come to rescue you

so take it as a warning
take it as a sign
& pay attention to what you're not knowing
you're gonna need it in the place you're going
you thought that you were ready
well, maybe once you were
I'll give you weapons, teach you how to use them
it's at your peril if you dare refuse them

(chorus)

because you know we start out wounded
& in the end we are still wounded
but I'll guide you on your way & you can guide me on mine
& I don't know that it gets better
still waiting on that Hogwarts letter
could it be we just get stronger given time?

because there was a night when
I couldn't find my way
I stumbled blindly in the cold deep starless
but there was someone with me in the darkness
cause I could hear them singing
& I could see their fires
& when I reached them then they opened up wide
a circle large enough to draw me inside

(chorus)

I don't know that it gets better
still waiting on that Hogwarts letter
could it be we just get stronger given time?
