[Verse 1]
I came here with nothing,
I’ll leave here the same,
Given a number,
Given a name.
I’ve walked in the sunshine,
I’ve stood in the rain,
I’ve loved for a lifetime,
I’ve carried some pain.
[Chorus — Bluesy, Slow and Strong]
It’s the bit in between,
The bit in between,
Between where we’re going
And where we have been.
A little bit of living,
A little bit of dream,
Lord, let me make something
Of the bit in between.
[Verse 2]
I’ve looked at the darkness,
I’ve looked for the light,
I’ve wondered who’s wrong,
I’ve wondered who’s right.
I’ve seen something growing
From one tiny seed,
And wondered who gave it
The life that it needs.
[Chorus]
It’s the bit in between,
The bit in between,
Between where we’re going
And where we have been.
A little bit of living,
A little bit of dream,
Lord, let me make something
Of the bit in between.
[Verse 3]
We think that we know it,
We think that we see,
Then something reminds us
How little that means.
There’s more than our answers,
There’s more than we’ve seen,
Maybe God leaves us glimpses
In the bit in between.
[Bridge — Strip Back]
A lifetime to build it,
A moment to fall,
We know such a little,
We question it all.
But darkness can’t make
What it tears from the ground,
And somewhere beyond us
There’s still something found.
[Final Chorus — Full Blues Lift]
It’s the bit in between,
The bit in between,
Between where we’re going
And where we have been.
A little bit of loving,
A little bit of dream,
Lord, let me leave something
From the bit in between.
[Outro]
The bit in between…
That’s all that I’ve seen.
Lord, let me leave something
From the bit in between
