We can't control the weather, can't turn the sky from grey to blue

We can't make the world behave, can't even watch the evening news

We can't see the future, can't know our loving will survive 

But I can take your hand in mine

And we can tend our flesh and bone tonight

Flesh and bone and heart to heart 

It’s a start, it’s a start

We can't find real meaning by worshipping blue light

We can't fill the big divides, can't stop the culture fights

I can't fix you, baby, and don't you try to make me right

But I can look into your eyes

And we can mend our flesh and bones tonight

Hold me now til I don't feel scared

Squeeze me tight til the world is fair

Show me that the sun will always rise

Love me so the sun will always rise

I can't save the planet, can't redeem a single soul

I can't make time stand still, can't stop us growing old

I can't explain why you're the one who makes me feel all right

But in the beating of our hearts 

I found place where we can start

To grow a little hope, shine a little light

To just be flesh and bone tonight

We can just be flesh and bone tonight
