lyrics

When we were still birds of flight
Before heaviness sank in our hearts
We’d sing to the sky until night
Catch wind and rise early light
We gave them our language,
They built us a pen
And fear has been planted
To separate “men.”
They tried to make us forget
But deep runs the water
That seems to be still
And we hold the secrets
That cannot be touched
A lie and a veil can’t stop the rush
And all of their anger
Has built walls around us
But we’ve never left the garden
Hold on to me, I’ll teach you to fly
Hold on to me, and don’t let me die
Desire, desire is all that I do
Bright as the fire that keeps me with you
Desire, desire is all that I am
As light pulls the seeds that are grown in your hand
