bless the bold future - kae tempest lyrics

[verse 1]
i want to give you everything
truth is
i don’t want to give you everything given to me
get in line
i want to break patterns
make a new moment
but how can i trust i won’t f*ck it all up
when i keep doing things i thought i’d given up?
dear unborn child that i can’t bear having
look at the state of the planet
what kind of life would you have if you had it?
this is a nation of pushers and addicts
this is a time of great change
but the habits are deeply ingrained
and we don’t have the strength to rip up the old fabric
the illusion is heavy
and it takes a maverick
to stand in the crosshairs and say, i won’t have it

[chorus]
i can hear you calling

[verse 2]
i see the light in the eyes of my love
and i want to make life
and i want to raise children
how can i battle the ego
that tells me to multiply, multiply
make yourself many
with the wisdom that says – don’t do it
much braver to get yourself ready
for a strange life
that will be distant and heavy sometimes
bring a child into chaos like this?
bring a child into danger like this?
the whole world is a factory floor
isn’t actually real
is a massive distortion
place like this
just makes you want to let go fast
and keep falling
i can hear you calling
but i love you too much to not give you fair warning
if you want to be here, fine
i will wash myself in the waters
and make myself pure for you
i will do what a human is born to do
lay my life down
to make sure home is warm for you
[bridge]
we lie in the long grass
talk in a whisper
nothing but birdsong
nothing but love
nothing but certainty
bless the bold future
bless the bold future
bless the wild creature
if ever you open your eyes
i will be there

[chorus]
i can hear you calling

[outro]
but i love you too much
to not give you fair warning
love you too much (too much)
love you too much (too much, too much)
