Handwriting

[Chorus: Brother Ali] Let yourself go, let yourself go, let yourself go Handwriting on the wall And we sing Let yourself go, let yourself go, let yourself go Handwriting on the wall Don't know [Verse 1: Brother Ali] Every drop of blood running through me Remind me of the love that renewed me The ugly and beauty The cool touch soothed me and cruelty that bruised me I view it like my own private movie I bring stories of turmoil and glory The toll stolen from me and gold laid before me My heart got ripped and carved out of a ditch Flooded it with wisdom when the rain storm hit I've been punched on, spit on, loved on, and kissed on Handcuffed, detained, some chanted my name But the globe so spacious and the Lord so gracious Borders and walls won't contain us My soul is a song that rose out of the cages My story a poem that glows out of the pages I feel it in my bones down through the ages Maybe the universe knows what my name is They say I long for illogical things But I've seen all my impossible dreams come to being Every time the unseen becomes seen I want to drop tears on it 'til it run clean Handwriting [Chorus: Brother Ali] Let yourself go, let yourself go, let yourself go Handwriting on the wall And we sing Let yourself go, let yourself go, let yourself go Handwriting on the wall Don't know [Verse 2: Brother Ali] I'm not a star, I'm the darkness between 'em The reason for being The glee and the grieving The stillness and speaking, the sea and the season Wide awake dreaming while you peek through the ceiling Rain forest in a seedling Ocean in a drop, the unspoken thought The sperm and the egg form a clot to the burial plot Hero's journey, character arc The heart of the author that holds the whole saga The twists in the plot and the drama Before he blotted the first dot and scribed the first comma Unfold the whole road map to Nirvana Escape from the maze of space and timeline From the finite to the face of the divine Already know the climax of the story My heart gave a whole testimony They say I long for illogical things But I've seen all my impossible dreams come to being Every time the unseen becomes seen I wanna drop tears on it 'til it run clean Handwriting [Chorus: Brother Ali] Let yourself go, let yourself go, let yourself go Handwriting on the wall And we sing Let yourself go, let yourself go, let yourself go Handwriting on the wall Don't know [Outro] To His unchanging hand Ooh, yeah, hold on To His unchanging hand Ooh, yeah, hold on To His unchanging hand Ooh, yeah, hold on To His unchanging hand Ooh, yeah, hold on
