lyrics

How many times
Must we all do this to see
That every god we imagine
Is yearning for us to be free

Well I do believe
In who we are becoming
Let’s grow the wings to fly
And gather the stars in the sky

Well darlin’, it seems to me
That the trouble actually
Begins in the parts of ourselves
We hide and then don’t seek

But look at the leaves
On this beautiful oak tree
Somehow she’s not afraid
To shed what lets her breathe

And darlin’, if I might
Be the one to say this time
We’re born even when we die
So we might as well all try
To make something bright
Out of what we find in the night

So when my leaves do fall
And my body goes to sleep
Remember it’s just the way
I save my energy

I’ll be back in the spring
Ready to bloom and sing
And make some shade
With the ones who find
Their gods of love
In everything
