Lyrics Missy Higgins – Starting Again

Your father was always the rational kind
He followed the news he read all the science
There’s no room for more, no room to expand
Would you really give birth astride sinking sand?

But you, my son, you broke through it all
Through every reason each side of the wall
You, my light, my hope at the end
You my son, my starting again
My starting again

Your father was always a practical man
The oceans are rising, the hole is expanding
I’ve seen what’s coming, the ash in the sky
He told me «My woman, we don’t have a right
You’ll never find a reason better than this
To keep your heart in a closed fist»
So I searched for a meaning bigger than you
Tried telling myself the right to do

But you, my son, you broke through it all
Every reason each side of the wall
You, my light, my hope at the end
You my son, my starting again
My starting again
My starting again
My starting again

When you appeared
It was louder than sense
