Coda

[Verse 1]
I remember late one night
How the star's ancient light
Seemed to reach right down from the sky
Wonder finds us where it will
Stay open and be still
And trust what's in front of your eyes

[Chorus]
Tomorrow's sun is bound to rise and set
On the promises we haven't broken yet
We'll do all of that and more
That's what growing older's for
Pick your battles, lose your wars, and forgive what's left

[Verse 2]
I remember being alone
Wondering how I'd make it home
Breaking bottles on the stones in my path
It was all so long ago
All the trouble and the woe
Yet I'm still cleaning up broken glass

[Chorus]
We're all just cosmic dust from outer space
And we'll be gone one day without a trace
But in between we may divine
In the fullness of time
The fine line between a gift and a mistake

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 3]
I'll remember the saving graces
And those old Super 8s
Where we raced like sparks down the sand
The bargain life insists upon
For you and me, we just get one
It's always been out of our hands

[Chorus]
But after life's big acts and its interludes
Are quiet mornings of coffee and gratitude
And a coda without words
And the poetry of birds
And the wild and brave and shining hearts you mattered to

[Post-Chorus]
(Ah-da-da) Ooh, (Ah-da) ooh
(Doo) Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
