Lyrics: Jack Johnson. En Concert. All At Once.

All at once the world can overwhelm me
There?s almost nothin' that you could tell me
That could ease my mind

Which way will you run
When it?s always all around you?
And the feelin' lost and found you again
A feelin' that we have no control

Around a sun, some say
There?s gonna be the new hell, some say
It?s still too early to tell, some say
It really ain't no myth at all

Keep askin' ourselves, are we really strong enough?
There's so many things that we got too proud of
We're too proud of
We're too proud of

I wanna take the preconceived out from underneath your feet
We could shake it off and instead we'll plant some seeds
We'll watch 'em as they grow and with each new beat
From your heart the roots grow deeper

The branches will they reach for what
Nobody really knows
But underneath it all there?s this heart all alone

And what about when it's gone
It really won't be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart
Is no place to be singin' from at all

There?s a world we've never seen
There?s still hope between the dreams
The weight of it all could blow away with a breeze
If you?re waitin' on the wind don't forget to breathe
'Cause as the darkness gets deeper

We'll sink and so we reach for love
At least somethin' we can hold
But I?ll reach to you from where time just can?t go

And what about when it's gone
Oh, it really won?t be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart
Is no place to be singin' from at all
