"Kindred" lyrics

Rare father-daughter teaching
Moments

How do I tell my child
Both inner and actual
Her feline friend was taken

So how do I tell my child
That her friend was taken by a selfish fool's impatience?

Delicate age for such an awful loss and lesson
Momentary, fleeting, and brief
A nature of all connection

Like her mother always said
Life is short
Screw the fear
Screw the dread
It's so unnecessary
Love them all
Love them now
Don't hold back 'cause
By and by, we'll all be dead and buried
Dead and buried
Dead and buried
Dead and buried
Dead and buried

Delicate age for such an awful loss and lesson
Momentary, fleeting, and brief
A nature of all connection

Fear of pain, from us has us avoiding bridges
Kindred connections
Such waste in time
Cross those bridges
Fear no bridges
Kindred spirits wait
Just beyond
Cross those bridges
Fear no bridges
