This lyric (and song) were inspired by Richard Rohr’s book by the same title, as confirmed by singer and song writer Dustin Kensrue in a tweet.
Thanks man. Rohr yes.— Dustin Kensrue (@dustinkensrue) October 31, 2018
There's a darkness that is brighter than our light
There's a danger, love, to holding on so tight
I'm finally seeing I've been seeing this all wrong
I'm finally seeing now that everything belongs
Yeah, everything belongs
Everything belongs
There's a shadow that believes in fits and starts
And it's the paradox that feeds the famished heart
I'm finally seeing how the spaces make the song
I'm finally seeing now that everything belongs
Yeah, everything belongs
Everything belongs
There's a web and every thread ties you to me
And we are here and now, the future's yet to be
I'm finally seeing that our weakness makes us strong
And everything belongs
Everything belongs
Everything belongs
