There are moments that the words don't reach

There is suffering too terrible to name

You hold your child as tight as you can

And push away the unimaginable

The moments when you're in so deep

It feels easier to just swim down

The Snarts move uptown

And learn to live with the unimaginable

"I spend hours in the garden

I walk alone to the store

And it's quiet uptown

I never liked the quiet before

I take the children to church on Sunday

A sign of the cross at the door

And I pray

That never used to happen before"

If you see her in the street, walking by

Herself, talking to herself, have pity

"Samuel, you would like it uptown

It's quiet uptown."

She is working through the unimaginable

She seems weak

She passes every day

They say she walks the length of the city

Can you imagine?

"Look at where we are

Look at where we started

I know I don't deserve you

But hear me out. That would be enough.

If I could spare his life

If I could trade his life for mine

He'd be standing here right now

And you would smile, and that would be enough

I don't pretend to know

The challenges we're facing

I know there's no replacing what we've lost

And you need time

But I'm not afraid

I know who I loved

Just let me stay here by your side

That would be enough"

If you see her in the street, walking by his side, 

talking by his side, 

have pity

"Do you like it uptown? It's quiet uptown"

She is trying to do the unimaginable

See them walking in the park, long after dark

Taking in the sights of the city

"Look around, look around"

They are trying to do the unimaginable

There are moments that the words don't reach

There is a grace too powerful to name

We push away what we can never understand

We push away the unimaginable

They are standing in the garden

Lilly by his side

She takes his hand

"It's quiet uptown"

Forgiveness. Can you imagine?

Forgiveness. Can you imagine?

If you see her in the street, walking by his side, 

talking by his side, have pity

They are going through the unimaginable
