"Beat Your Wings"

Will the wind that scatters dust
Reveal its secrets, speak to us
Of many things
In the morning when she comes
The bird awakes you with her song
She’ll beat her wings, she will rise again
And ride a perfect high
And find a sweet seed growing
And never know why she sees anything

One more inch, no more reason
Go without you even yet and
Death you sing
Pass it by when one’s discovered
Time to stop wasting time
What will you bring?
You will rise again
And ride a perfect high
And find a sweet seed growing
And never know why you hear anything

Bless the sunlight
Grab this day to make you over
Save the bullet
Priced the sandman’s head
This time do not roll over
Beat you wings
Yeah, hear them sing out, up there in the glimpse of silence
Up there

When the days have come to pass
Our journey broken gone at last
We’ll beat our wings
Shadows take familiar skin
So recognize them
Don’t give in
We’ll beat our wings
We will rise again
And ride a perfect high
And find a sweet seed growing
And never know why we feel anything
Yeah anything
Yeah beat your wings
Now beat your wings
Yeah beat your wings
Now beat your wings
Now beat your wings
Yeah beat your wings
Yeah beat your wings
Now beat your wings
Yeah beat your wings
