Song from Oblivion

For a moment you could feel, like you've never felt before In your mind you set fire to all the billboards 'Til the cars disappear and it's just you on a horse And something inside you says you're finally ready, baby The panic in your chest is the call of the wild It's the song from oblivion, it's the end of denial Now you're calling your doctor, 'cause you're crying like a child But something inside you says you're finally ready The moment you realize you're made out of earth Is the moment you feel your heart start to give birth Now you're saying "I love you, and where does it hurt?" And something inside you says you're finally ready, baby It's the pissed-off rantings when there shouldn't have been a word All your broken pieces are a buffalo herd The moment you surrender, you turn into birds And something inside you says you're finally ready You gotta set down the baggage you picked up as a kid You know you're only good as the sins you forgive Gotta give yourself grace for the way that you lived And something inside you says you're finally ready, baby You hear the call of the wild, you hear the song from oblivion You can just make out the words as the spirits are singing them "Children, we love you, now go make this right again" It's the smell of the campfire, the beat of the drummer You look in the mirror, and see your great grandmother All of the ancestors under the streets Lift up their song singing "You're finally ready, baby"
