Everybird Lyrics

It′s not the place that I grew 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
And let the heart move
Until 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 the garden behind the wall
Spinning coins and I watch them fall
Though I've lost all the will with all
I will find you where you are (Go where you are)

I sing like the earth as you dance on my skin
The memories release the future
So this living can begin

Not in the ship that charts the heavens
Not in the words that fall like hailstones
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
And let the heart move
Until the earth can touch the sky

In all the lines etched on your face
In a stretch that cut open space
Any place that you leave a trace
I will find you where you are (Go where you are)
In the city inside the wall
Where you watched all the young ones fall
Though we've lost all the will with all
I will find you where you are (Go where you—)

Build this nest with blood and feathers
Build a world to bring back life
Build a place that holds a future
Can hold the future
For all who come when we are gone
When we are gone
