The Kiss Of Life

The Dear Hunter

The Dear Hunter - The Kiss Of Life


Hope was closing with my eyes, down the shallow grave I was lying
Then I heard someone say you’ll be stuck here forever, but I prayed it wasn’t forever
‘Cause you were leaning over me, clutching memories of when I was alive, and then you breathed life into me one last time.
But I prayed it wasn’t the last time, because it would be so wonderful to see your starry eyes again.

Give me more than the things that I’ve lived for
I’m only echoes of the man that I’m supposed to be
Because I want more of the things I’d die for
I want to feel it in my soul

Now that you’ve unburied me
Dust me off and carry me home
And I beg you sing life to me again
I promise this won’t happen again

I want to clarify that there is no one undocumented experience.

Some of our parents crossed the border without authorization, some of us came here legally and just overstayed. Some of us were escaping persecution while some came seeking more prosperity. We are from all over the world. But somewhere in all our stories there is a common thread: there is an act of love. And that is the bridge between all our differences.

Our task is then to locate that love and let it guide us.
