Lyrics inspired and adapted from “The Painted Drum” by Louise Erdrich
You have to love you have to feel
It is the reason you are here.
You are here to risk your heart
Life will break you
No one can stop it
And when you feel betrayed or hurt
Sit by an apple tree. Listen to them falling
Wasting their sweetness
Did you taste as many as you could?
You have to change you have to grow
It is the reason you are here
You are here to share your love
Solitude will break you
With its yearning
And when you’re broken or hurt
Chorus
Instrumental Verse
You have to live you have to die
The only thing truly yours is time
In a cycle round and round
The days will fly by
No one can stop them
And when death brushes near
Chorus
