Lyrics

Sprite

Once upon a time, in a tiny little town
In a tiny little house, where no one came around
There lived a bird who was just so sad
For this little bird didn't have a mom or a dad
He had forgotten how to fly, and he had lost the will to try
Until one day a bear came around
And the bird heard its terrible sound
And through his fear, his courage did appear
He lifted once more from the ground

Show me through your animal heart, and not through your mind
You and I can't find our one
Throws me naked into the eternal don't go now
You and I run
In a world that's so inviting
Find your own sanctuary and play along

Show me to the (fundamental tenet)
Hard times have come to return
You and I can't find our one
(Everybody, everyone, everybody)
In a world that's subdivided
Hold your own ceremony, and carry on

Soul, soul and the body are broken hearted
So, sons and your daughters are broken hearted
But know, only the body is broken, hardened

(Show me to the hear that's in your mind)
Show me through your animal heart, and not through your mind
You and I can't find our one
(Everybody, everyone, everybody)

In a world that's self-divided
You count your hopes, face the morning, and pray along

Think of everyone you know, everyone is broken
Take a look around, everyone is sad

Monsters and robots are broken hearted
Octopus lovers are broken hearted
Dad in the garden, all broken hearted

Thank you for the morning and the light
But more than this, thank you for keeping trying
Slow progress, is still progress
