"Handwriting" lyrics
Brother Ali & Ant Lyrics
Handwriting on the wall
Handwriting on the wall
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 rainstorm 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 till it run clean
Handwriting
Handwriting on the wall
Handwriting on the wall
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
Rainforest 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 want to drop tears on it till it run clean
Handwriting
Handwriting on the wall
Handwriting on the wall
Handwriting on the wall
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 rainstorm 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 till it run clean
Handwriting
Handwriting on the wall
Handwriting on the wall
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
Rainforest 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 want to drop tears on it till it run clean
Handwriting
Handwriting on the wall
Handwriting on the wall
