A chant-like lyric about perseverance and ancestral connection, weaving together modern labor and spiritual hope. The repeated invocation of "Emmanuel" anchors themes of resilience and collective identity across generations, with the paradox of laughing when we cry running through it.

Chapters

Give it time and we wonder why. Do what we can. Laugh when we cry. When we sleep in the dust because we've seen this all before. Cultured face with tears and grace, leaving us stunned. How then were we ashamed? We'd seen this all, seen this all before. Many times of a modern kind, doing random work, same spirit by our side, joining hearts and hands in ancestral twine, ancestral twine. Many tribes of a modern kind, Brand new work, same spirit by side, joining hearts and hands in ancestral twine, ancestral twine. Slowly advance, slowly advance. Emmanuel, Emmanuel, Emmanuel. Emmanuel, Emmanuel, Emmanuel, Emmanuel, Emmanuel.
