Everybird

It's not the place that I grow up in It's not the body I was born with They're not the trees that I once played in That now surround us, us in a prison Every bird was born with feathers Every wing was shaped to fly We spin around 'til we stop all motion Let the heart move 'til the earth can touch the sky In my hunger deep in my bones In a thousand deserted homes Any time that you feel alone I will find you where you are Go where you are In a garden behind the wall Spinning coins and I watch them fall Though I've lost all the world with all I will find you where you are Go where you are I sing like the earth as you dance on my skin Then memories release the future So this living can begin Not in the ship that charts the heavens Not in the words that fall like hail stones Not in the light you disappear in I'll be the mirror you can see through Every bird was born with feathers Every wing was shaped to fly We spin around 'til we stop all motion Let the heart move 'til the earth can touch the sky In all the lines that churned your face In a stretch that can hold them space Any place that you leave a trace I will find you where you are Go where you are In a city inside the wall Where you watched all the embers fall Though we've lost all the wherewithal I will found you where you are Go where you build this nest with lot of feathers Build our world to bring back life Build the place that holds the future Can hold the future For all that come when we are gone When we are gone
