It Has A Shape Now

VERSO 1 — ALDONZA (ON ESTEBAN)

I watched him mend a fence that no one asked him to
Watched him trip on kindness and somehow make it land
That's not the man who wore another's face
That's not the man who used to hide behind the mask

VERSO 2 — SANCHO (ON ALDONZA)

I watched her tend his wounds before he had to ask
Watched her walk the herb road without needing to be sent
That's not the girl who waited for his gaze to name her
That's not the girl who needed his belief

VERSO 3 — ESTEBAN (ON SANCHO)

I watched him talk a merchant down off his price
Didn't raise his voice, didn't need to twice
That's not the boy who rode out chasing an island
That's not the man who used to trail behind

PRE-CORO

We didn't see it happen
We were too busy changing too

CORO

It has a shape now
Not the one he ever planned
It has a shape now
Three of us who used to freeze or fall
It has a shape now
A crazy old man's crazy vow
And somehow — we're the proof of how

PUENTE

He sits there smiling, says "almost there"
Like we don't already know what he means
We called him mad, we called him blind
Turns out he's the only one who'd seen

CORO FINAL

It has a shape now
Three sets of hands, not one
It has a shape now
And the old fool gets to rest and watch what's done
