Lehi


Tonight’s the night you’re gonna shine

Gonna throw your words and make them mine

They’re gonna pile up so high

So high in the wake of tonight

Every one’s an introvert, too scared to die

Jealous at the way kids raise habits of mind's eye

It’s the little things that make me smile

Tributaries of the Nile

We can’t swim, but we thrash about

Holding your breath like it’s so devout

The four winds gather to explain the word

Aaron’s rod budded, Noah observed

The illusion of a Laver seems more to contrast

The undeveloped feeling of cleanliness and wrath

Gonna be a soldier living in prosperity

Gonna be a child in all that’s worthy

Gonna be a light that helps the sick cope

Gonna be darkness that shadows hope
