American Mothers

American mothers

Sit by the sea

Waiting for the tides

What will they be like

Chinese at a wall

Standing together

They don't know what for

English fathers

Look to the sky

Holding their children

They don't know why

Animals

Could you survive in the wild

Animals

Could you survive in the wild

Mystic fantastic

Your hands, your mouth

We are all someone from somewhere else

Walk into your backyard and feel your plants

They are creating the air you breathe

They are a part of you, do you see

Do you see through the spider web

Down the ancient vines

The idea of time

Animals

Would you survive in the wild

Animals

Would you survive in the wild

Animals

Would you survive in the wild

Were we meant to run together

Or meant to run alone
